Possible rear end going out? I've had two cars with that issue in the past.

A big problem with adjustable uppers is they could be adjusted in a way that has the pinion angle totally out of whack.

What did you set the pinion angle at? With adjustable rear control arms and the pinion set right you shouldn't have any wheel hop problems.

Damn that's weird I've never experienced wheel hop, even when I had the stock upper N lowers with no quad shocks.

assuming everything else on the vehicle is in good condition (check your trq boxes), you will only get wheel hop with bad bushings or different bushings (poly and rubber) adding quad shocks is just trying to mask the problem. undo your right upper control arm and set your pinion angle/ center the rear with the left upper. put the right upper on to where to bolt slides in easily and give it half a turn to tighten. (all at ride height) adjust only the right upper to set the preload after testing to make sure it burns out in a straight line and doesn't kick out left or right.
