 Subject: roadmaster / caltracs...final decision
IP: Logged
Message:
ok I am ready to make my final decision and would like some quick help. I have a 99 RC with a 3.9 5-Speed. I have 3.55 gears in the rear but will be swapping for a 3.90 gears. I also have a powertrax locker.
now my problem...
I have severe wheel hop! every time I loose traction it hopes worse than tigger.... can anyone give me a good idea of what would work better.

Both control wheel hop. The Roadmaster also helps control extra load (towing, stuff in the bed, etc.).

bernd, that kinda surprizes me that you are not using the caltrac bars. Just seems those are more for race vehicles...which yours is...
if it helps, i don't have a rear sway bar and i never haul anything...the most i haul is my next toy that i just bought...that's about it...
any more help woul be great!

Cal-tracs are not worth the money. I was putting 371hp/481 torque to the rear with my Ram. I had installed Cal-tracs at the same time as the motor. I kept backing off the pre-load on the Cal-tracs because the truck was riding like crap. Finally, I just pulled the Cal-tracs off all together. The truck took off just as well without the Cal-tracs and it road a lot nicer. I had wheel hop when I first bought the truck and a set of Edelbrock IAS shocks cured it.
