when i bought my 4runner...it had lift blocks and new factory style leaf springs (not sure what brand) and i always blamed the wheel hop on the blocks. I did the zuk mod a month ago or so and got rid of the blocks and i still have got it. I havent really done any off roading latley but had to pull my friends ford focus out of a pond (yeah i know ) and i still got wheel hop bad when pulling in 4lo. Is that acceptable then? Like i said i havent done any serious off roading with the zuk mod yet but i used to get bad wheel hop just climbing up a hill in 1st or if i went over 15mph with 4wd it would start hopping like crazy, it doesnt now though.

I was thinking about going to 63" chevy springs to get rid of the wheel hop and to get a smoother ride. I used 175 pound springs so its still pretty stiff riding. I am debating getting softer coils or just getting the chevy spring kit since i would assume the chevy springs would be stronger and have less wheel hop since they are for trucks with much more powerful engines than ours.

What kinda shape are your shocks in? 63's probably aren't going to help you any as far as wheel hop goes, they're a long, soft soft spring.

I get wheel hop with my stock springs, you will get it with the Chevys. It is just a thing that is going to happen with leaf springs unless you get or fab a traction bar.
