Default gear install problems

Had 2.42 gears and changed to 3.73 gears. I thought i would get more tire spin. i know its not good to spin the tires, but, with 2.42 i would spin them through first. now with 3.73 i floor it and the tires dont spin. when it shifts to second(th350) the tires chirp a little. goin down the road about 50 and floor it, there is this loud clunk noise. I know that axles torque to where the pinion angle changes (pinion kinda points toward the floor pans). This whole thing cant be good on things. if i get some kind of traction bars will it keep the rearend where it needs to be? 2.42=spin 3.73=shity situation
