Chris,
I noticed the same thing. I can set 4-5 clicks tigher on the Spax and it helps, at the sacrifice of ride quality. If I raise the air pressure, it helps some too but I won't leave it this way.

My car has had a 4-wheel alignment twice. So, I just don't get on it at all 'til the car is up to speed - not wanting to damage anything from wheel hop. I'm running a fairly pumped 428CJ/550hp, with the Good Year Eagle tires. They stick really well, but seem to contribute to the problem some - IMO... If I had to do it again, I'd even consider a milder motor with less torque next time. HP & Torque is great if you can utilize it.

Hopefully we can all come up with a set of adjustments or changes that will help the wheel-hop situation. Thanks!
