theres tons of threads for this subject...most common solution is a strut tower bar. u can also take it a bit further and get poly motor mount and/or trans mount.

I haven't heard of thestrut bar helping any, but motor and trans mounts will help. Also JBP has some ureathane control arm bushings that are supposed to help, I haven't seen any threads confirming it yet.

there has been many threads on this subject, bushings WORK! Either eliminate or come very close to eliminating wheel hop. Bushings with a engine mount wil take care of it. Good rubber and lighter wheels wouldn't hurt either.

ZZP motormount will cut down on it a lot. You will still get some wheel hop on rough pavement but it's a huge improvement over stock.

And trust me , just a strut tower brace wont do a thing for wheel hop . Mines does it just as bad with the STB .

If you drop a tire size and increase your side wall it will absorb more of the impact and create less wheel hop. I have none with my 245-45-17's. I was going to order trans mount and motor mount but now I don't need them.
