wheel hop with LFP bars?

Occasionaly under part throttle launches and on damp roads I get a small amount of wheel hop. It doesn't feel like the tradional wheel hop. Feels like more of a "chatter". There is no play or slop with the bars. I'm running Nitto 555r's at 22psi and they have plenty of tread.

I've had the same "chatter" on several other occasions. All of which were on near bald tires. One instance was with a Z06 and the others were with my stock F150.

I'm guessing this is more of a tire issue and not my traction bars. Or time for new shocks?

The only chatter I hear coming from my LFP bars is the sound of them banging against my Bassani
Thats why the nice red finish on them is staying nice and collecting dust in my room for the past 6 months. Traction was nice when I had them on though...

It's intermitant depending on the launch and road surface. Is there a fix? I'd say a very quick part throttle stab will cause it. As long as I roll into the throttle everything is okay.
