Message This is just MY opinion though...not some big Pro-Dupree thing...just what I see on a given product. If there are those that claim it cures wheelhop for everyone, they are indeed overstepping the bounds of what they can do.

But I speak in real world scenarios where I've personally felt it and experienced it and have a dozen friends locally that have done the same. For me, it's completely gone. Sure, a lot of that has to do with suspension/tire/etc but in my given setup I had wheel hop (not much, but some). I put on spacers and I have none. Simple. Others will get reductions but not a total loss of it and now we have a case or two where it didn't help much at all (for whatever reason). Put it up aganist the only other method that people try (solid aluminum replacement) and it costs less, takes much less labor and is a lot smoother ride than the aluminum. I even get a better feel on the rear end in high speed turning. You'd get that with aluminum too, but for a price. For some people, that's the right choice, for some it's not.

Not bad for $80. Will it cure, world hunger...no :)
If I'm wrong in some way, please point it out. I don't know everythnig!
