Default Wheel Hop

What is everyone using on their new trucks to help stop wheel hop?
My truck doesn't spin much but when it does it likes to hop.
I'm not spending money on caltracs!

Maybe some old school traction bars?

Also I have noticed there is some a wet mark on my rearend where the driveshaft yoke connects to it. Any ideas?

Correct the pinion angle and use some sort of bars that aren't cal-tracs. Not old slapper bars though.

There has to be a cheaper way than Cal tracs.

How much are u lowered? Im 3" rear drop and when it spins there is no hop at all, just smooth spinning when TC is off.
My truck also has the same wet spot that your describing...

Yes those will work. Just clamp the overload down in front of the axle
