Re: Roadmaster suspension
Minitruckin Magazine did an article about this roadmaster suspension on a monoleafed s10 pickup about 4 years ago. It got great reviews. Ive been looking for something to stop my wheel hop, i heard there good, i was thinking about getting them too.

Re: Roadmaster suspension
oh yea? my friend saw them on the show crank and chrome. they were putting them on some nascar driver's silverado. well i think i am going to get them and see what they do. install is supposed to only take 30 min max. they are located in NC, so the guy told me it'll take 3 days to get to TX where I am. i think the price was like $222 including shipping & taxes.
it they dont help my wheel hop, they are supposed to reduce body roll. so i guess that's one positive if anything. BUT I REALLY AM TIRED OF THIS WHEEL HOP CRAP!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

Re: Roadmaster suspension
READ THIS:
(this is taken from the roadmaster site)
"Axle wrap occurs when the rotational force of the tires causes the axlehousing to twist or rotate. This rotation forces the springs to bend into an S-shape. When the axlehousing rotates far enough, forces cause the tires to loose traction, and jump, or "hop". Once traction is lost, the springs snap back into their original positions."
i think this is the first time i've ever found out why the trucks hop!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
