You have to take the quads off to turn them backwards so why not try driving without the quads and see if it hops? what lower control arm are you running?

I will try and see if it wheel hops. I was just thinking as many people who have done it someone has had to have the same problem. I have upr solid lowers.

My wheels are like 1/4" from rubbing the quad. I have 18x9 245/40/18. I want to run a bit bigger tire than that. That tire is just barley flush with the rim. I have Gabrial shocks from Autozone, stock quads.
