well it was definately a form of wheel hop, i think there was a little pot hole when the tires were spinnin, if it was on perfectly smooth road, it might not have happened. ---

I didnt buy them but if i come across another deal, i am not going to pass it by i hear that man. i need to find a solution… its 2.9’s or im gonna snatch up a set of Raxles from vortex… 2.9’s are 800, the used raxles are 600, so its almost worth it to buy the new DSS’s which are actually in my “shopping cart” at the moment. its a big decision.
