Has anyone found a cheap solution to wheel hop/axle wrap?

[MTF]

The frame is beefier than a standard F150 thats why it weights 6,000 lbs.
I do not notice any frame flex in my Raptor!
But I have the black one so who knows. LOL


Unless yours is doing this then I'd worry!!!! http://youtu.be/1j3PWGRrCZ4

Well, be careful doing that or you will snap the drive shaft!

You ain't kiddin!



WSI has springs for $1000 if that helps. I can vouch for them.

$1000 for springs beats getting a new driveshaft...

Frame flexes on my black on too lol

This truck still flexes out and we've got it trusted and gusset all though it.
It gets wheel hop on pavement bad.
Our trucks are dirt trucks.
Sure, you can do burn outs on the street. But you can add superglue to condoms too.
I just say, bad idea.
But there's different strokes for different folks.

Pavement is definitely worse if you want it to be, but mine hopped in the dirt and snow too before I got progressive leafs.

Ha, I bet you took the vibration dampners off the back of the frame!
That's why you got so much flex. LOL

Nice truck by the way rasco.

There is a thread showing them and when they removed them the side view mirrors vibrated so bad that they put them back on.

They sit between the bed and the top of the frame rails at the back.

I'll keep mine then lol.

Oh yeah. The harmonic dampener on top of the driverside frame rail behind tire.

I always wondered what that was.
