Which Shocks

I have an 05 with Z-51, mn6, I want to eliminate some of the wheel hop, what type shocks/coil overs would be best?

Check with PFADT their a forum sponser. I talked with one of their reps at the SORC event in Nebraska. They have some great adjustable shocks and coilovers. When the subject of wheel hop came up he stated that a lot of it can be prevented by changing motor and transmission mounts to their stiffer mounts.

I installed Koni FSD's on my 06 Z51, virtually eliminated wheel hop. Also improved ride and handling .

I installed the KONI's on my Base suspension with Z51 sways front and rear and have no wheel hop. I'm very pleased with the ride and handling
