Spring clamps (two per leaf) is a very effective and inexpensive way to virtually eliminate wheel hop.

i put the lakewood HD on my 2001 4.7 3.92 lsd 5 spd. MSE. this sucker had wheel hop so bad it wasn't funny. bent the springs before i got the bars ! it stays on the ground now ! and the front end dosn't lift up so much when you launch it anymore.
best E.T. 15.605 @ 85.88 mph at great lakes dragaway. this was before i got the bars. can't wait for the track to open for the season. less than a month to go. april 5 th.
