If you can, post a picture of your traction bar. Preferably a shot taken from the side. It could be you traction bar is not well designed, it also could be at least partly due to your MTRs.

Yep,

Yeah, MTRs tend to grab and hob a bit more than other tires....those grippy bastards....

They're grippy, but no more than a BFG/Maxxis/SX/whatever. I believe the hop is induced by the relatively thin and flexible sidewall, not the grippiness. I guarantee that the set of Maxxis Creepy Crawlers I have (had ) on my rig are grippier (sticky compound) than an MTR, but because of the stiff bias-ply sidewall, they do not induce hop.

MTRs......Wheel Hop?....this has never been an issue with me. I have 3 leaf pack chevy springs in my runner, no trac bar and I don't hop! I just start to spin sometimes. But I ran them at 8 last time in moab!

 

[RockMonkey]

My observations have led me to believe that the same rig will hop more with MTRs than with many other tires. I'd still like to see that side-pic of his traction bar, though.

maybe your shocks aren't reacting like they should be.

I would like to see his traction bar.

I had hop with 35 mtr's, but the 33's were fine. It is a ide wall issue....
I sliced 3 mtr side walls in a a month, 2 in a day....
38 SX's have been one for 3+ years, no problems, no hop with my old leaf suspension or the link set up now.
