I feel your pain. I just put PMT fabrication control arms, a new set of OE replacement coils, and a impala SS sway bar and still have wheel hop. Sad

I was told by (joe73 I think) that the shocks weren't heavyduty enough. Anyone have any heavyduty shock recommendations? Question

Yes they make coil spring traction bars, pic is from Jegs but you get the idea what your loking for compared to Leaf spring mountable slapper bars

I'm pretty sure the rear sway bar would be in the way.

Global West Suspension makes a TS-37 Rear frame supports. Contact them, they might help solve your issue.

Thanks, I'll have to look into that. I'm not sure if the support braces (as slick as they are) will cure my problem.

I'm pretty sure I heard those won't work with a rear sway bar as it will be fighting for the same space(under the control arms). I don't want to dump my impala SS bar, its more practical for normal driving.,
