...with wheel hop. It wheel hops something horrible now. I had to take off the quad shocks and they wont fit on with my new wheel/tire combo. How do I stop the wheel hop?

I've never done the 5 lug stuff but I'm wondering what kind of rear lower control arms do you have? Hypothetically if you upgrade the LCAs then the need for the quad shock is lessened.

I have stock LCA's, I was guessing those to be the problem. When I get some I was thinking of Southsides.

Did you try to flip or turn your Quads the other direction as you can gain some clearance.
