Meh I am going to disagree. I haven't had quad shocks on either of my Foxes for 20+ years but I do have quality UCS's, LCA's, and shocks. From summer tires to all season tires and to drag radials no wheel hop.

I had to put them back on mine. MM lowers, new OE style uppers, bilstiens, PHB, still had the hippity hop. Checked pinion angle. Just put them back and problem solved.

Your o.e.m. uppers are the weak link, cause I've been side stepping my clutch for years without any hop, I've got metco adjustable uppers and lower arms with greasable bushings.

It’s what MM recommended to me. They aren’t original they are new, along with new axle bushings. All low mileage stuff. In fact there have been two different sets of them each at this point. At this point I’ll live with the quads and just pull them when I finally install a torque arm.

Side stepping clutch sounds like you run slicks, unless you just like smoke showing.

ALL I CAN SAY IS QUALITY UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS WILL HOP ON RADIALS(HIGH 12 SECOND CAR) WITH T5 AT 3300LBS WITHOUT QUAD SHOCKS.

BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THA EARLY 90S.

THE OLD SCHOOL Southside Machine control arms(new ones arent the same) or Lakewood traction bars ARE DIFFERENT. THEY WILL KILL THE HOP.
