Never had a set I can't comment
On wheel hop I agree. Which I'm sure springs are not happy when bouncing like that.If you understand what slapper bars do, and use them accordingly, then yes, they help immensely. Especially on a mild car that has an open rear end.
LakewoodWe talkin old school Lakewood's or modern Caltrac style?
LolNot as much as air shocks.
It's easier to go fast when you're always going down hill.
I doing period correct speed parts on my Dart, saw a bunch of cars in the 70's with barsNever had on a Mopar. On a Chevy they worked somewhat.
But it's old technology. I've done very well with SS springs and a snuber for pinion support on a 10 sec 3000lb Duster.
I believe once your build gets into the 9s and faster where chassis certs and licensing becomes more apparent? Then a ladder or 4-link systems become more of a survival necessity.
JMO.
Air shocks and classic Lakewood traction bars, cragars, thats where its at...Not as much as air shocks.

Yes sir , CRAGAR original SS 15x7 small bolt patterns from Summit for me in a few months.Air shocks and classic Lakewood traction bars, cragars, thats where its at...
"slappers aren't $50 anymore either".
Well, lakewoods aren't. The summit bars that look exactly like the ones I used on my 4sp 57 chevy for 40 years now......are $57 (in my two year old paper catalog. Don't know how much they are now....)
Caltracs work, I have assassin bars but on my car they havent been tested yet.Lakewood
Yeah rams and especially my Dakota r/t that gets a violent hopOk, i voted no at about 90%. Only Mopar ''car'' i have ever seen with a ''wheel hop'' issue had wore out springs/shocks and 3 or 4'' shackles. I could see someone going for a vintage look using them and maybe some uses for a truck. I had a 5spd Ram that sure could have used some help...lol.
Are you going for a certain look?Never had a set I can't comment
