as far as I have seen, bagged trucks will always have wheel hop. If you know of a set-up that wont have it, let me know.

1. you have a mon-leafed fullsize correct? BAD idea... too much weight, and if you have a v-8, too much power. 2.You cannot correct wheel hop with a monoleaf set up on anything. 3. Only bagged mon-leafed trucks have wheel hop, linkin the rear end prevents that. If your looking to go cheap for air ride, two link it... you'll be glad you did...

I never had any wheel hop with my 3 link when I had my ranger. Linking it is the best way to go.

it adds up pretty quick though...links, link bushing ends, panhard, shock hangers, c-notch, bag brackets, bags, valves, d.o.t line, fittings, switch, and misc. stuff... im sure alot of the stuff could be made like the links and bag mounts... i already got the bags, fitting, valves, d.o.t line and switches... so might do it soon just really low on money rightnow...would i use square tubing for a two link..2x2x1/4 right? anyone know where i could get some???

I could build you one in my spare time if you get me some measurements. You dont really need a panhard bar, not if you weld a crossmember between the bars. Pm me if your interested.
