You said it... "Blocks create a large reaction moment..." " this moment twist the leafs" ....nothing about stock vs blocks. Your post suggests that wheel hop only happens to lifted trucks using blocks, it can happen to stock as well as lifted trucks...its not a lift only issue!
Fair enough; let me re-phrase that then:
lifting blocks will magnify any inherent weakness of the rear drive-train design. It'll make any existing condition worse, and possibly create new conditions that didn't exist before.
Lifting blocks does not make ANY performance aspect of the truck better, other than the sole purpose of gaining height, which I do not define as a performance metric. If height is desire, then I'd suggest obtaining that via custom leafs.
