I did get the new pinion yoke and Ratech seal installed - so now we'll see how that goes, hopefully all will be fine.
The mechanic didn't want to install the Stop Hop bars. That's OK - no problem.
But reading the instructions They talk about the pinion angle and keeping it the same. i guess I thought the bars would be designed - so that when bolted in place - they would keep the pinion angle in the stock factory location, but maybe I'm wrong ?????
But lets say I don't install the Stop Hop bars - what shocks should I try to stop the wheel hop? Will shocks alone stop the wheel hop?
Thanks for the help - any and all is appreciated

No, shocks along won't help much.
I think the hop instructions mention the pinion angle to cover their rear and for the installer/owner to check that angle. The 2 pair I installed did not change it enough to mess with.
