Haven't seen any used on foxbodys, but to stop my wheel hop the first thing I did was full length subframe connectors then a good set of rear upper and lower control arms. After those mods I have not experienced any wheel hop.even when I removed the quad shocks( aka bandaids)

Maybe something like this?

1982 1983 1984 Ford Mustang GT Rear Slap Bar PairTraction Slapper

Compatible Vehicles Year Make Model 1982-1984 Ford Mustang Condition: Used Description: Original Rear End Slap Bar Pair off an '83 Mustang GT! This pair is in good shape, but hasn't been taken apart. Very solid RH LH Pair. They should work for Mustangs from the years 1982-1984, but make sure...

Perfect, thank you - I'm wondering if they'll adapt to a 1986 GT with the 8.8 - any thoughts

Call them and ask but I would say that a good set of lower control arms will do more for the car than these.
