Preventing wheel hop.
I've searched quite a few threads on how to prevent wheel hop and nothing seems to be clear. It's about 50/50 on replacing your control arm bushings or solid motor/tranny mounts.
Can someone clear this up for me? What should I purchase and install to decrease wheel hop?

The solid CAB's got rid of all my wheel hop before the rotated mounts were available.
Wheelhop is the tire actually pulling forward in the wheelwell then sliding backwards. This is due to the lower control arm bushing compliance allowing the car to just power it forward. If you use the rotated mounts you eliminate some of the torque angle problem and it lessens this effect, but if you switch to the solid style CABs it can't move like it needs to to cause the hopping.
