Default wheelhop = bad front lca bushings. traction bar ok?

wheelhop on my 95 teggy is starting to get to me. my bushings need replacement. i've been told to get traction bar. option 1: if i do get it, will it stop my wheelhop even with bad bushings? option 2: replace bushings and add traction bar. option 3: replace ALL front bushings and no need for traction bar?

i'm trying not to spend too much.

help would be greatly appreciated.

replacing the bushing and depending on your spring rates, stiffer springs will take care of your problem. harder bushings are helpful.

i found that stiffening the engine mounts to be more effective at reducing wheel hop.
