RE: Wheel hop?
Definition: An undesirable suspension characteristic in which a wheel (or several) moves up and down so violently that it actually leaves the ground. Wheel hop can be caused by many problems, including excessive unsprung weight, insufficient shock damping, or poor torsional axle control.

Drag racing starts;rev the engine real high, dump the clutch, and your wheels will jump up & down (partly) because of engine movement, resulting in a loss of traction. If you want better traction when doing this then you need the kit.
