Just swapped in elocker into Taco Now have weird issue

I just swapped a elocker rear axle into my 1997 Tacoma using mt Tacoma 5lug axles.I have driven around quite a bit since I swapped it on Friday evening .It drives well but the weird thing is if you give it too much gas it revs up and I get wheel hop realllllll bad .I know its not locked because I have checked that.But It almost annoying.You can drive it like a grandma all over the place and it shifts perfect but the second you try and gun it it revs up and bounces all over .Anyone have a clue as to what this could be.

any noises associated with the wheel hop? double check all your u-bolts, drive flange bolts, etc.

The ubolts are very tight and the drive line buts,bolts are tight.Pinion angle is good. No noises but seems like trans is slipping but as soon as I let off the gas then accellerate shifts just fine all the way up to 110mph.

Well after further inspection the pinion is moved slightly more angled upward ,,at least a slight bit more that it was with the other axle.Could that be it

how much? when you jump on the gas (heavy load) the pinion angles upward, if it goes too far it could go into u-joint bind.
