Last week I installed a Spartan locker in my 8.25 (lunchbox locker). When I accelerate hard and with traction I get pretty violent wheel hop, it's even happened in the rain. When I do a brake stand or purposely break the tires loose for a burnout and keep the tires spinning, no problems. No problems before, so I think it's axle twist.
255/60r15 tires, 5 leaf spring packs, OLD old shocks (waiting to do shocks when I do the iso-delete), iso-clamp system still there. The springs are very possibly worn out, those and the iso system are original from a '78 wagon. I'm piecing together parts, I have b-body shock plates and adjustable shocks picked out an ready to order. Would it be worth it to go ahead and replace the springs? What are some things to look for as far as if what I have are still okay to use? Recommendations on springs/shocks? Spring clamps, pinion snubber? Caltracs? I'm trying to do this without spending too much, but I want it to be a solid fix and to last.
