That's it? Didn't have to use relocation brackets?

What made the most difference for me was when I installed my CHE upper control arm.

But general consensus is get a good set of LCAs, and good adjustable UCA, and relocation brackets if your lowered, and you should be set.

LCAs fix it, adjustable if you are lowered (or planning on being lowered) plus relocation brackets. You don't need an adjustable UCA though... but most people like the extra good feelings it gives them.

You probably don't drink as many wine coolers as SD does...

I have to disagree that just LCA's fix the hop. I've got the BMR tubular LCA's and if the road's wet, I still get wheel hop. I need to just suck it up and get an UCA as well. Is there really a need for an adjustable if I'm not going to lower my ride?

I don't know what to tell you, except I went from stock LCAs + NA = occasional wheel hop to BMR adjustable + FI = no more hop. I still have the stock UCA.

STFU ... you are getting more annoying than the OP. :deadhorse::deadhorse:

Do you have stock tires? If so, there is your problem. Like I originally said, wheel hop has a lot to do with the stock tires.
