Wheelhop

[Bfusilier]

I have a 2024 Wrangler Rubicon 4 door 4XE, in sand it has Wheelhop under power, bad enough that I have to stop moving forward. I have had 4 new Jeeps over the years, including a 2018 JL 4 door V6. None of the other Jeeps have had a Wheelhop problem.
traction on or off, 4 high. Any thoughts?

Only wheelhop Im used to is during tire spin ... maybe dont spin the tires?

I wheel in sand often, I've never experienced wheel hop, full throttle or not.
I'm going to guess shocks are bad.

are your differentials locked?

Turned sharp? The u-joints up front loading and unloading can cause hop if turning sharp under power with some slip.

This is what I was thinking too.

Knuckles frozen up? Not likely but possible

Lower your tire pressure and back off the throttle.
