Not knowing what your setup is, guessing it is a solid axle.Change your pinion angle to 4 degrees or so positive for one.Maybe change control arm bushings.

It has an 8.8 independant rear end I think all Spf have them.

Had to chuckle when I saw that, "under statement". Yeah, an axle hop cure can sure be illusive. What works for one car, doesn't work on another. For instance, some ERA's have wheel hop, some don't, but they all pretty much built the same way, even more so with an SPF. Any given model (FFR, SPF, etc.) may or may not hop, plenty of variables to look at, no one simple answer.

Does the tire pressure make a difference in wheel hop?
