Hotchkis leaf springs sagg brand-new

Great comparison pics Steve!!

I havnt been able to accel/decel hard enough to experience wheel hop issues. As i said if i roll into the throttle, the rear end squats down the ~3/4" it has before the pinion snubber is on its stop, then it either overpowers the snubber or the axle wraps to allow the u-joint to hit the driveshaft tunnel...

Put the factory front hanger back on.

Do you have a stock pinion snubber on it?

Are you running a stock K-member, stock motor and trans mounts?
