Need to be sure on the 200 of nitrogen. Had the same problem with my front end wheel hoping I to thought I had 200 in the shocks after calling around asking questions was told to double check pressure and sure enough only had 145 in them. Up them to 225 and solved the wheel hop.

Never mind my earlier post. Thought it said 2.0 coilovers.

It might be too much antisquat in your link setup
Whats your link seperation at the axle and frame?
What angle are your links at?

How much separation ( top link bolt to ground vs lower link bolt to ground) do u have on frame side vs axle side. To much antisquat would be my guess to, caused by not enough separation at the frame end. Antisquat is good on cone dodgers because it forces the rear tires into ground for traction when under pressure, but when conditions and driving style allow the tires to spin, it causes suspension to rapidly load and unload causing a hop. Air shocks generally don't help the problem, but shouldn't be the root of the problem.
