I think I'd invest in some good shocks. And how is your clutch? A rough
clutch can be a real problem for smooth starts. But check your shocks-jump
on one corner, and see if the rig bounces. If it does, you need new shocks.
If it snubs pretty well right away, the shocks are okay.And I wonder if you
have too much power and too light a rear end-too lightly loaded. When I
worked for the Corps of Engineers , we put 300-400 lbs of sand in the bed
because the rear wheels would spin everytime we were in slippery
stuff-grass, mud , snow, ice, etc. Bob K in PHX, AZ.

> Hi i recently bought a 51 1/2ton pickup that has a small block with a
standard 4 speed and it has a ford 9" rear with 373 rear gears i think. When
you try to let the clutch out and take off i get some rear wheel hop. What
would be the reason for that? I do have leaf springs and the shocks donot
look real new.What would be a good way to fix this problem?
