If you already have SS springs, then you need stiffer shocks. They dampen the extension & compression of the suspension. I had Mopar auto drag shocks with SS springs and under certain conditions, they went into pretty bad wheel hop. I put Rancho 5-way (old version, new is 9-way) and problem was solved. The harder your car launches, the stiffer shocks you need.
I have SS springs with the mopar shocks. My car is a 4 speed car. Guess Ill try those Ranchos Thanks
Lots of good info here, Crackedback & Abodybomber both told me to ditch the snubber and add spring clamps. Here is more about my current combo:
1966 Valiant, 340 4-speed, 8.75 with 4.10 gears, MP SS springs, Mopar A-Body drag shocks, MP adjustable snubber. The rear tires are 255/60R15 M/T Street ET drag radials, engine dynod 300 HP at the rear wheels.
My car gets wheel hop at the track with the snubber adjusted to the floor, but does better on the street. If I lower the snubber down a notch, it gets real bad wheel hop on the street, especially if I run regular radial tires and not the M/T's. I have a NOS Direct Connection spring clamp kit I bought but have not installed it yet. I plan to ditch the snubber but this is also the first time I read that my shocks might needed to be upgraded due to wheel hop. The Rancho adjustable ones sound good, any idea what they cost and is there a part number to use in the A-Body? :glasses7:
Thanks guys!!! :burnout:
