Are you drag racing when this happens?

it's for my daily driver. the springs are very soft. any amount of tire spin results in my truck humping the ground.

no, this isn't the '72. this is going on an f150. i know this isn't the best forum for this but a trac bar is a trac bar. i'm into 4wheelin and i know how to make a good trac bar that can acomidate alot of flex but i've never built one for a street truck. any kind of a big torque load will cause wheel hop. burnouts ect..

The Caltrac bars are great. Easy to bolt on and proven traction.
