I lifted my tracker this past weekend i put 1.75 inch in the front and put .75 inch in the rear(front saged) i took it out wheelin yesterday and ne time i would go up a hill the front end would hop. Does anybody else have that problem and how can you fix it?

Sounds like you don't have any strut spacers. I suspect that the suspension is topping out, if you push down on the front and let it go its probably quite evident.

If he's right you should flip your strut mounts. It's easy. ;) I've got 1.75" spacers and I have no probs.

Rhino is correct. You had better fix it before you blow out your front struts  :-\
Try getting some strut spacers from Boondox or make your own  ;)

Spacers are the best option. The strut mount flip only gives aroun 3/4" of extra travel. The spacers will give you two inches.

Yeah, I had this problem too and its a royal pain to try to climb something with the front end boucin' like that.  I finally replaced my shot struts with OMEs and its a major improvement!

I will proly just buy strut extentions because the struts are only 4 months old. I hope its that but wonder if its alighnment the left tire leans out a lil.
