Reducing wheelhop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My GMC seems to like to bounce the back end quite a bit. Whenever the tires break loose, on accident or on purpose, it bounces awful. Tar, dirt, snow, doesn't really make a difference.

But I was wondering how I could cut back on the wheelhop. J.C Whitney makes something you clamp on to your leaf spring that makes it so the truck won't bounce, because the device theoretically "prevents the spring from warping, or making an S-shape during wheelhop", but it looks to me like it would break. (Plus I'm not giving J.C Whitney any of my hard-earned money) Any info on some traction bar devices or something would help. Thanks for the info.
