If not, at least put good bushings in the stockers.
I recently installed a set of uppers and lowers that are the house brand from www.50resto.com. They have much stiffer bushings and are stronger then the stock arms. Mine doesn't wheel hop and I have no quad shocks any more. They also gave grease fittings for the bushings. They look like repackaged MAC arms to me.

I have UPR control arms and they work good.
when I have the adjustable shock's in the rear on a soft setting (5 and under) I can make it wheel hop with little effort. But 30 seconds later if i put it up to 6-7 setting, no wheel hop, and stiff as can be.
I picked UPR's control arm's for the price. saved me a few buck's. I have no complanints, but I recommened replacing your shock's while your in there, and Strange engineering's 10 way adjustable shock's are great!

Air shocks = junk. Get rid of them and put a decent set on.
And I'm curious why you replaced the last rear. Was it because it was doing the same thing it's doing now (hopping) or was there another reason? Maybe you didn't have to replace at all.
As for control arms, everyone seems to want to go with poly bushings at each end and all that does is cause bindiing in the torque boxes. Be smart and get some arms that have a spherical end on one end and a poly on the other. This will tighten everything up in the rear without causing any binding. (your torque boxes will thank you)
This is what I went with...
