Bounce

Would it be easier to use air shocks to adjust firmness more easily?

Lower your antisquat.

If you want to spend the time getting it right before building any new mounts,

Put link locations in the 4 link calculator,

And minimize your antisquat increase thru suspension droop.

Using shock valving to control wheel hop is a band aid, it can be done but doesn't fix the source of the problem.

Theres not much clearance to lower ride height. I could definitely use weaker springs though.

Then you'll have to build a subframe to lower your lower link mounting points.

That's why 99% of the tube buggies you see have a big ol belly frame hanging down under the driver compartment.

Either that, or like most of the rock bouncer type chassis, the engine/trans/tcase is mounted high and forward (driver sits low behind tcase).

What is antisquat? Thanks for the help
