comp engeneering sells an adjustable pinion snubber...I put one on mine and it works well also as the suspension loads up the rear will rotate up and could be changing the pinion angle like pro50sc says...check that and if you have adjustable control arms....you need to set them accordingly..and removing the quad shocks won't cause the wheel hop....been there done that and have no issues.....but pinion angle will

K from readin previous posts about pinion angle.. I have come to the clusion that the best / optium angle u want when launchin hard is basically straight line.. 0 degrees but that is hard to get...

My question is, how much does ur diff raise upon a hard launch... ?? and why is that if u have the spherical joints instead of poly bushings that it doesn't lift as much..?? Sry kinda new to performance stuff , lets just say i'm in the learning curve.
