Default traction issues

after putting in my 373 and locker and dropping my helper spring to lower it down a bit I tried stalling it up and leaving and all it does is wheel hop terribly now curious if the pinion angle is off that bad due to the helper out or ??? if I leave on the spray it hooks like a champ

You need to measure your pinion angle no matter what, and add some degree shims if it's off. But, you're experiencing "spring-wrap" because you removed the overload leaf. To counter that, you should install Cal-Tracs or something similar.
