i just got a set of draglites w/ 295 rubber, tightened the hell out the suspension, that did keep me from spinning off the line, but now if i get into it hard, it wheel hops like 6 inches off the ground, OUCH!!! any one know where i can find something to eliminate wheel hop on a 89 lx 5.0... i dont want to spin, i dont want to hop, i jus wanna go!!

(p.s. i know if i ease into the clutch more, it wont hop, but thats goin backwards of where im headed, i want to be able to launch crazy hard!!)

Get a good set of upper/lower control arms. Problem solved in most cases....

That is the reason for the quad shocks. Ford put in the quadshocks to make up for the flimsy controll arms and thier weak bushings. Also a good set of shocks is a good way to keep in under controll.
