The rear wheel hop remedy requires replacing the factory bushings in each knuckle, lower control arms, upper control arms, and upgrading camber and traction arms which also possess factory rubber. This is an extremely challenging and time consuming DIY project. It required some hole edge grinding / angling with a carbide burr to better seat the replacement bushings in order to get them started with a ball joint press, as the Whiteline bushings do not have the tapered end that the factory bushings do. This was all required to remedy wheel hop despite having previously replaced diff bushings, added diff brace, and inserted sub frame collars which did not lessen the severity at all. I suspect a significant % of non professionals who attempt this project will require professional assistance, so consider carefully before getting started!
