Wheel hops bad

Thought those were for correcting driveline angles to stop the takeoff shudder?

Yes. I was at my wits end with my old truck and tried them out of frustration and it worked to cure my wheel hop. There is a point when the flex of the leaf springs begins to put more pressure on the rear wheels and properly absorbs/transfers loading during take off. It worked for my truck. I am not saying that it will fix this one but it is worth some research to see and it was the cheapest fix I tried. I realized it after loading my truck down with some hard woods and realizing how good it preformed with a loaded bed.

Or maybe my leaf springs were over loaded for an empty bed and this helped to relieve some of the load. Not exactly sure, but it worked. Makes more sense that they were too stiff I guess.
 
The truck gets in loose sand and wheel hops bad. I have a Toyota t100 that never wheel hopped. Plus the 1996 t100 will out 4 wheel this 2016. I'm not impressed with this truck yet.
