Wheel Hop!!!

Ok I have bad wheel hop between 75 85. Its not continuous it seems to vibrate (hop) then stop then start again. Made a 2 hour trip yesterday. And drove me nuts as the speed limit it 75. So I have no idea what it could be. Btw I have 4 in procomp lift with procromp ES9000 shocks with steering stabilizer procomp also. And my tires in the front not wearing evenly they are choppy feel to them.?? Any advice would help thanks

Master Brent may say that your wheels were static balanced instead of dynamic balanced, especially if they are mag wheels where there is no place to put balancing weights on the outboard surface of the rims? What say you Master Bradley?

The master say's take them in and have them balanced, there is always room for weights somewhere. If that doesn't help check them for roundness.

Rotate and balance. Check alignment. Tires doent get choppy for no reason.

I had this problem with another truck I owned. Found out it was water in the tire. The water was left there by the tire shop washing the inside of the tire before mounting. I dont know why they felt the need to wash the inside of a tire.

Wow that's rare but I guess anything is possible.
