Default NNBS front tire spin

How do you guys solve front tire spin/hop on the strut front ends on nnbs trucks? My escalade has a 3200 stall now and does the stanky leg to 45 mph from a dig...

Straps or chains to limit the front end travel as far as I understand from reading around here over the years

The truck pictured in the strap sticky here won't work for me. Id have to find a new way to run them. I don't know where I can mount a Clevis for adjustment

Haha thanks. That's what I jokingly named the Escalade. I refer to it as CB haha.

You don't have any extra CV axle angle do you?

Not sure if that can be a cause here.

I shouldn't. It's stock ride height. Not lifted or lowered anywhere.

I don't have my TC in yet. I've had a Yank TT3000 sitting in the garage and now I'm deployed so it sits. But when I lowered the truck the first time, I had too much slop in the suspension. It seemed to not have enough preload on the front. It would take off ok but transferred weight to the rear a lot at the 1-2 shift and would chirp or slightly turn the fronts. I looked pretty silly chirping fronts like a ricer with a loud V8. With the current suspension set up the problem is gone.

I'm long winded and tell too many stories in person too but, you have the same suspension as mine, more or less. The torsion bars were getting old and the rear coils are very soft. I rode nice but let the weight move off of the front too easy. stiffer springs may do wonders.

You need better valving on the front shocks...
