Default More wheel hop after LCA install

I changed out the stock LCA's with J & M non adjustable ones. I raised the back of the car and had the tires about two inches off the ground and then placed the jackstands under the axle housing on each side and then lowered the car onto the jackstands which should have loaded the suspension. I removed the wheels and changed out the arms. I used the same bolts with red loctite and torqued them to 129 lb ft.

I did not have much wheel hop prior to changing out the LCA's but now it seems that I have more wheel hop than before. I haven't changed out the UCA yet. I would like to figure out why it is worse now before I change out the upper. Any ideas as to why the wheel hop is worse?

Have you lower your car with sport springs?

One easy thing to check, Turn off the TCS. I have felt that as well, I turned it off and didn't have that feeling of wheel hop.

techman, you nailed it. It was the traction control kicking in, not wheel hop. My mistake.

The car is not lowered.
