Wheel Hop

I have a guy making the brackets and I will soon have all the parts to install. Like I said Im real busy so itll be a while but you all will like it.

kind of like the dogbone upper motor mount on other gm fwd? that would definitely help

One thing to watch out for is how much of the vibration enters the cabin. I've seen many people put something like this on and then soon after take it off, myself included. The torque brace I tried was a solid piece that didn't give at all though so this may not have the same result.

no its a small shock you put in place.

Not sure who you are using but I might be able to get a good price at my father in law's shop. If it is a small run they would use the laser so finishing would be a minimum. Let me know if you want to pursue.

its not that intensive to create. Man all kinds of people offering to help. The bracket takes me with my basic tools only half hour to make but my welds are crappy from my welder.

Chubby thats right. hehe
