Had the same problem. Installed upper tubular control arms, poly-urethane bushings and boxed the lower control arms----problem gone.

so what u r saying that if i box the lowers,it will stop hopping.so it stops the flexing on the arm it's self?.i was thinking about replacing all the arms and see what that did,but i might just try what u said to do.

I did all three (tubular adjustable upper control arms, boxed lower control arms and poly-urethane bushings) so I don't know which was most effective but I suspect that boxing the lower control arms might be.

How much HP do you have? Over 300 box the lowers for sure anyway. I am making about 425-450 and all I have is boxed lowers and it NEVER hops! She either fries em or straight hooks up and goes! Good luck!
