New rear control arms will fix it.

You might try replacing the quads. Their design intent is to dampen axle windup to prevent wheel hop.

Try swapping the quad shocks from side to side and see if the left side then hops. If it does just replace both.

A lot of people replace the lower rear control arms with quality aftermaket parts and ditch the quads...that's what I plan on doing....

That's what I was going to say, you beat me to it. The stronger LCA's make the quads of no use. My Dad has worked for Ford for the past 20-some years and when he set up the 3.73's a few weeks ago, he made a comment that "Ford used those 'garbage' shocks on my car."

you can pick up some new quads from a local parts store for about $45-50
