Has anyone removed their overload spring in the rearend?? If you've done this, have you experienced any wheel hopping or bad experiences or do you recommend I dont remove it??

thanks

 

I have mine removed but I have Caltrac Traction bars so I do not have wheel hop issues.

 

From what I've been told, you will probably get wheel hop if you remove it without putting on Cal-Tracs, especially with your setup.

 

read my thread... its called like "Helper springs finally out". So far no wheel hop really. But then again Im still on the cammed 4.8. Give me till next week to find out if I developed wheel hop or not. Do it and dont look back tho, it makes the truck sit nice, mine had a rake before with the 2/4 kit.

 

im running no overload on my 96, and im about to remove one of the 3 long ones. but i run my on the street and only thing thats every in the bed is the fuel cell and batt. i have no wheelhop or anything and im running no bars of any sort yet. and im over 600 horse, fine on street radials and wrinkle walls

 

i took mine out and it squatted pretty good (never got it to the track) but it did wheel hop and i was afraid of too much axle wrap. i put it back on and the truck rides 10000x better.

 

I have no wheel hop, and it made the truck sit about a inch lower in the back..

 

to both.

I'd only do it if you were also adding Caltracs. Mine had bad axle wrap when I did it.

 

Also I do have cal tracs

 

i got bad wheel hop
