AutoWeld makes a nice set-up for 8.8 rear that eliminates wheel hop. Their site is http://www.autoweldchassis.com/index2.ivnu
and here's the link that specifically shows their kit. http://www.autoweldchassis.com/cobra.ivnu. Kit consists of a pair of brackets that mounts to the 8.8 and adjustable UCAs. The brackets relocate the mounting point of the UCAs to the rear and the adjustables allow you to adjust for correct pinion angle. It is my belief and experience that a major contributing factor to wheel hop is caused by incorrect pinion angle such as too much positive angle. I have this set-up and adjusted for neg 3 degF pinion angle and I have absolutely no wheel hop w/ 5.0LHO 360HP no matter how hard I launch.
