Has anyone ever used these?? If so, do they really "Completely eliminate wheel hop?"...

Nothing will COMPLETELY eliminate wheel hop, but they do a good job.

I have no experience with Z10, but I do know that JimFab traction bars do the same thing and is relatively cheaper than those Z10 bars.

I disagree. Have you actually used both the Z10 bars and the JIMFAB bars? The Z10s do NOT restrict your turning limits. They make some squeaking noises every now and then because their travel radius is different from the lower control arm's radius of motion, but they don't keep you from turning.

As for quality of build, the Z10 bars are extremely well made- just as good as the JIMFABs. The design is just different.
