Wheel Hop
A friend of mine with a 2600lb '83 Capri had a bad wheel hop problem. He bought some new LCA's and the hop is still there. New shocks and put on some quads? replace uppers or maybe just urethane bushings? What's the next step do you think? Kinda hoping wouldn't have to mount some quads but...whatever works.

Definitesly new shocks AND quad shocks. The lack of quad shocks is most likely the problem, but I would swap out the other shocks just for fun.
