68 chevy c-10 2wd trailing arm suspension, wheel hops bad on starting line?

My truck has a blown 454,12 bolt rear w/all the good stuff and 3 speed auto. The battery and fuel cell are in back of bed. Tires are 325/50/20, and are being changed to a 29x18x20 Mickey Thompson S/R. Off the line it wheel hops like crazy. Bistanders say the whole truck jumps straight up. It has trailing arm suspension with 5 inch drop coils and the arms have been rinforced. I am looking to go to dual adjustable coilovers to try to tune this and also reset my pinion angle but I want to keep the trailing arms. The truck leaves straight on street and track. I beleive that the springs just fully extend and lift the axle off the ground.
Any suggestion??
I wonder if a low spring rate with the longest shock will help.
Best I could get was 12.56 @ 107mph, thats peadling it first 60 ft.
60 ft. time - 1.898

You obviously know what your doing, so I don't expect you to get much from any ones answers. All I can say is that you said you put in 5 inch drop coils, and they probably not the best for launching. I would think you want more track oriented, launching springs over just the aesthetic drop coils.

P.S What does it run?

Formostar Encore Dual Treatment Infrared Body Wrap System Increases Spa

Formostar Direct is pleased to announce the immediate availability of their New Formostar Encore, a Dual Treatment Professional Infrared Body Wrap System that generates increased spa revenue while maximizing profit potential.  Imagine being able to perform two treatments simultaneously with only brief and occasional attendant monitoring of the client’s well-being and comfort.  With the Formostar Encore System, you can perform two treatments in a 1-hour session; in one room or two with minimal staff supervision.  Now that’s a formula for success.

According to Jim Frye, President of Formostar Direct, “Spa owners and directors know that their challenge is to provide high-end aesthetic services, retain clientele, attract new clients, and most importantly boost spa revenue and profitability.â€Â  Jim further states,  “Day spas, wellness centers, salons, skin care centers, massage facilities, and other aesthetic service providers will appreciate the sleek design and enhanced functionality of the new Formostar Encore Infrared Body Wrap System that operates on just pennies per treatment. “

Having been the Infrared Body Wrap System industry standard for nearly 25 years, Formostar understands what it takes to be successful in the highly competitive aesthetic services industry.  Facilities must provide value-added services that are results oriented; that’s what keeps clientele clamoring for more, and with the Formostar Encore, results are undeniable.

Benefits of the Formostar Encore’s far infrared heat are many, including increasing metabolism; resulting in weight loss, body contouring, fat and inch loss, and the improved appearance of cellulite, while pain relief, stress management, detoxification, and skin rejuvenation are also targeted by the infrared heat.  Addressing all of these trouble-areas with one treatment system is an advantage only the Formostar Encore can offer.

The Formostar Encore System uses radiant heat applied directly to the body via high-density silicon treatment pads that evenly distribute the heat, allowing clients to burn up to 1200 calories in each session.  The treatment pads are positioned on the legs or thighs, hips and buttocks, abdomen or chest, and either on the arms, calves, knees, ankles, or neck.  The Dual system is supplied with a total of 12 treatment pads; while the single station Encore system is provided with a standard 6-pack treatment pad package.  Optional face and back or shoulder pads are also available for both the single and dual systems.

To make the Infrared Body Wrap Treatment even more enjoyable, the Formostar Encore is supplied with an onboard CD player with wireless headphones as well as an aroma fragrance delivery system creating a total immersion experience resulting in a satisfied and loyal client who will refer their friends and colleagues for treatments.

Designed to set-up fast and easy, facilities can begin selling treatment packages and sessions the very first day it arrives. Measuring 46†(H) x 23†(D) x 21†(W) all that is necessary to get started is a massage table(s). Staff Training is minimal, and an easy-to-follow instructional flip-book is included with each system. Operating on an input voltage of either 230 Volts/50 cycles or 115 Volts/60 cycles (standard power), the system includes a one-year back-to-base warranty and UL approval.

Whether a single or dual unit is selected, ROI can be achieved in as little as one month.  With the Formostar Encore, performance-oriented results are achieved for both the client and the aesthetic service provider. www.formostarencore.net
