Re: wheel hop
To be clear, are you spinning the tires or is the truck just shaking real bad? If the latter, it's likely the clutch.

Re: wheel hop
my truck has a home made set but my grandfather was a machinist....
i can take some photos for ya when i get a chance as to what they look like but like i said i think they are rather inexpensive.
try jeggs or summit to see what they look like and prices.

Re: wheel hop
You could use torque rods like the HPP trucks had.
