I have fought these problems for two years. I bought some tubular trailing arms (Upper and Lower). This has eliminated my wheel hop (my first engine a 335 hp 302 and also in my 428 CJ I have in it now). I bought mine from Bryan but I have seen others from Ford and Factory Five that are just as good and cheaper.

I am trying to decide wheather to narrow my 8.8 posi I have now or to just have a 9" built to my spec's for the Cobra for about the same price. For about a $1000 I can have a narrowed 9" rear with my choice of gears and all the 8.8" brackets welded back on so I can use all my other equip. Then my wheels will be tucked in under my fenders and all the rubbing should stop.
