Wheel hop on taking off

The SDL likes to hop the right rear when I take off from a stop. I get a lot of hop and noise. I know the shocks are overdue for replacement as the car is also floaty. Do you guys think that shocks will fix this or is there more suspension work involved?

FYI it only started doing this after theALDA was removed. I get a lot more power on takeoff now as Miss Alda was virginal when I removed her


Which shocks do you guys recommend?

Thanks,

Joe
