Hi Mike,
I would say you'd better not get on it again till you have the hardened keys. If you don't, you will be buying another axle and hub. It doesn't take much to shear those stock keys. When you tale it apart, you might find that they are already beginning to shear.

I have a few sets of the keys left PM me where to mail them and I will send them off.
The hard keys are a must you can shear of a stock key in a moment and it just mangles the hub and axle. I would not drive at all with out changing these out, you are one step on the loud pedal from calling the roll back.
Wheel hop is just hard on everything shocks, rear end, drive shaft, transmission. You just need a set of traction bars with this conversion. I have a set of the traction Master bolt on units, what are they LAT 6 or something like that. You can still buy them new from Traction master for around $150 shipped. Easy to install, you just remove the bottom plate that holds the rear end to the springs and bolt them on. Then they clamp onto the spring pack. They tuck up nice and tight and are hardly noticable. They may not plant the tire as hard as a slapper bar but for street use with a stock rear end you may not want to plant the tires any harder. They do cure wheel hop and the ride is not affect a bunch.
