any one els have wheel hop after swap?

[LOWnEASY]

Finally got every thing sorted out on my swap. 95 4.8 5 speed and she runs like a top!
Got to finally go balls to the walls in it today and it really starts to pull hard at ~3500-red line (should get some bottom back when exhaust is hooked up)
Second gear at about 4500 rpm it starts braking lose then starts to hop bad. Have to pedal it to get it on to the top of the rpm range and cram third with a nice little spin then it hooks back and feels like a rocket compared to the old 350 tbi.
So, looks like some trac bars are now added to the list.
Any one els have some hop problems after the swap? BTW, I have a flip kit out back.

Some trucks just have it and some don't.
A set of bars in the back will help it bite the road harder and keep it under control.

good to hear you're enjoying the power.

Didnt have it with the old 350. I guess its cause the higher mph when it starts spinning.

not to thread jack but since we are on the subject, ive been contemplating trac bars. but i dont have any wheel hop as my tires dont have much traction so they just light right up. are the trac bars more for wheel hop and spring warp which IN TURN provide better traction? or do they actually PUSH the tire down on the ground for better traction? ive been reading on them about the thicknesses and different lengths and how they work. just wondering how well they help on our trucks.

From what I gather, they help traction as well. But iv also gathered there for more straight line and don't offer any better turning ability. That would be were a sway bar would come into play.
Does your truck squat hard under power? Or does it perk up? One thing that will help you would be some fatter meats out back. Some 305 or 315's would do the trick I bet

Also, on a side note. Why would my open differential lock up both tires 9 times out of 10 now? I'm not complaining, just curious haha. Used to be a solid one tire fryer
