Default Wheel Hop

Alright, so ever since i've installed my LS7 Clutch, i am obviously getting more power to my actual wheels in high speed shifts and my car from first to second gets some mad wheel hop. I'm not a big techie on suspension yet but i'd like to learn. How can i eliminate this wheel hop? Mods are in the sig, i plan to get subframe connectors soon, weld ins... is there anything else i can do, every time i'm shifting high rpm i feel like my rearend is going to bust

For the record that's not generally how i race, i don't just throw them in there hoping for traction i'm just trying to be as cautious as i can about preserving my rearend and my car

Start with some LCA's. If that doesn't work, go for a new torque arm.

LCA Relocation brackets completely solved the problem for me.

So far an adjustable torque arm has solved it for me.
