Default best money spent yet

welp got the spring clamps installed the wheel hop before was just

so after some research on the board i found what everyone was doing to cure it.. i was real leary (sp?) of it but so far its been the best damn $11 i have spent and and the fastest install ever total of 5 min for me

took it for a test drive.. before from a dig it would just your teeth out.. now she just hooks and goes

gave it a lil powerstall test that now possible as before she did nothing but wheel hope if it was a dry burnout.

hopefully friday i can get some track times

Is this a kit you bought for the spring clamps or just a free mod-home built type thing. Did it affect your ride any? This might be something I'd be interested in.

Homemade kind of thing. Go to home depot and get everything you need for like 10 bucks. It doesnt effect ride as much just keeps the axle housing from twisting as much when you stomp it cause the bottom leaf wants to move down and with it being clamped to the top spring it wont let it twist near as much.

I dont htink so its not actually compressing the spring down its just squeezing two together.
