I was working on the truck and realized my shocks died and probably been like that for a while so if i got new shocks would they help my horrible wheel hop? I had my dad order me some edelbrok gas adjustable shocks

Probably if the others were really dead.
Hop is a sign of other troubles though (pinion angle & axle wrap).
Gone, but not forgotten!

i would say by by to the kuhmos and get some fusions or nittos thats just me tho i had kuhjos and i couldin get traction after 2000 rpm ha ha but you need to play with you pinion angle it will create wheel hop and vibration at high speeds and when your pinon yoke gets warn all your trany fluid will leak and you will burn up tranys left and right i learned the hard way get your pinon angel aligned right
