well just snaped my second djm hanger



that is the previous broken hanger gonna fix the other one in the morning then make some traction bars

 

At least it was the hanger and not part of the rear axle.

Wheel hop and axle wrap have claimed quite a few guys in these forums.. me included. Traction bars are a must...

Good luck on fixing it.

 

you need to weld in a gusset right there

 

yeah ive been thinking about gusseting them but that would mean i would have to take both of them off......drivers side sucks. i broke the passengerside this time

 

Is this a problem with drop kit durability or was it simply severe axle wrap/wheelhop. I get off of it when I get hop, usually in sand. Need to change my clutchpacks /random thought

 

I let off the gas too when I feel it... but the other day... happened so fast, I couldnt get out of the pedal in time.

 

unless if it happened yesterday and i didnt notice it must have been cracked and i hit a bump today and broke it, cuz i wasnt on it hard, i was on the phone hit a bump and thought whoa that didnt feel right(the whole rearend of the truck moved side to side)

 

It's dangerous to talk on the phone and drive.

 

i think its the girl i was talking to aswell ive gotten a ticket cuz i was talking to her and didnt notice a cop and didnt slow down in time, then also got a flat while talking to her, and now this.....i better break up with her and soon before some thing really bad happens

 

That's a drag. I'm surprised you are getting any wheel hop with your truck being that you're running 22's. I have yet to have any wheel hop in my truck, with the stock tires or the 22" pirelli's. Could the different leaf springs or shocks that come with the Roush kit be the difference?

 

yea its def the girl. Sounds about like you caught my bad luck spree, dont worry it only lasted like 3 months. Things are really looking up now.

 

could be, could also be that my 22's weigh the same as the stockers did when the stockers were bald and its only on smoother surfaces, for instance i usually cant do a burn out

come to think of it i remember getting some bad wheel hop last night while doing about 30 and nailed it

 

I only get it when I nail it from a dead stop...sometime. Depends on the road conditions.(Bumpy, smooth, dust on road...ect)

 

ok all better

o and added some coilovers i had laying around to stiffen up the rear end, it handles soo much better now and has very little body roll now


ehh traction bars will have to wait, at this rate i might as well 4 link it
