yeah thats what it sounds like to me, invest in aftermarket lower control arms for your rear suspension, at the very least. probly want a torque arm, polyurethain bushings, and springs.

shaken real bad with a one wheel wonder? hmm I'd check it all, tires, balance on wheels, torque arm, controll arm, shocks, all of it.

Sounds most likely like a torque arm.. But could be anything.. Does it only do it while spinnin or does it do it at drivin or highway speeds?

It Only Shakes When I Peel Out

yeah that definatly sounds like wheel hop, but could also be a misfire, yeah its a stretch, but very possible, look for burned wires or some other ignition problem.

make sure someone didn't shove a pogo-stick up under there either.

That would be the best way to go to eliminate that wheel hop.. Stock suspensions probably gettin' tired.. If replacin all that isnt an option right now, I'de look at some of the simpler things, Check all your bushings, make sure your torque arm is tight at the rear and the rubber torque arm mount on the tranny is in good shape.. Check out the control arms and panhard bar, make sure nothing is bent, loose, broken, etc..
