What is the shop's name in Flordia? What kind of adjustable shock did he use? Yes, I have tried it at different ride heights and the only thing that seemed to make a difference was when I had no air in the rear bags and sitting on the bump stops. I had also had no air in the rear and set the bump stops on 3" body blocks (which would have put me at ride height) and again no wheel hop. So I think starting off I am going to try the solid inlinks like on 4-link and ladder bars come with.

What exactly does a watts link do...is it just a stiffiner?

Ryan,a watts link just allows your rear diff. to stay centred while moving up and down.With the panard bar when you bag down or go to high you will see your rear diff move to one side more than the other.I agree with bio max the watts link will not cure wheel hop it acts just like a panard bar to keep the rear end centerd.more than likly the shocks are bad or see if the u bolts on the diff are loose and allowing the diff. to rotate up and down during your drive.check all the bolts maybe some are loose or rocking back and forth in one of the holes used to mount the system.

I'm glad I had a watts link made and ditched the panhard.

I have finally found a place that I can get shocks with different valving options for different aplications. Call Steve Duck at (619)588-4723 ext.109 and tell him what you are trying to do. He only sells Bilstein shocks, but they are very fairly priced. Damn good shocks!

BUMPSUK-What type of transmission do you have manual or auto? What is your pinion angle?



Tonight I have taken one of my four bars off and the bushing is now egg shaped from the wear pattern on it. And checked my pinion angle at ride height it was four degrees down. I have been told that I need to be two degrees up at ride height?! Checked Nitroactive shocks and they are still good. Talked to Tony at AirRide and he said that he thought shocks were good combination and that my pinion angle was off. I am going to start with new bushings and set my pinion angle at two degrees up at ride height.
