Cool, they still have the 20% off sale.
So how difficult is the install? Looks like it should be fairly easy??

So I am seeing three different fixes.

1. The Roush UCA.

2. The Steeda UCA and LCA.

3. The UMI position changed LCA.

Which of these really works, or if they all work, which works best?

Which is best for limiting axle hop?

Which is best for maintaining ride quality?

Which is best for keeping stock handling?

Thanks!

Just called Steeda to ask when the 2011 stop the hop pak will be available. They said hopefully by the end of the month and that it will come with an adjustable third link. So, no need to choose between stock and lowered ride heights. This is good for me because I am stock now and want the wheel hop gone. But, I may be lowering my vehicle in the future.

Good this is getting a lot of focus.

Im on the fence as far as lowering to reduce hop or start with LCA braket kit.

Concerned lowering will affect the ride -

I expect the rate would have to be higher . Its about as firm as id like with the Factory 19s

If the LCA mod keeps closer to factory ride , that would be better for me at least.

The handling is good enough for my needs for now.

For me, I will attack that beeyotch-*** wheel hop by getting springs, but most importantly, UCA and LCA. I don't think I will lower so I might not even need relocation brackets.

Check out this thread, I found out a ton about attacking wheel hop.
