Hello
There is so many factors that come into play with wheel hop. Such as in your case I would suggest going with a adjustable rear shock (the factories are possibly shot), And what shape are your tires in. And what air pressure are you running. Another suggestion to help trouble shot your problem would be a set of relocation brackets to allow you adjust the lower control arm parallel to the ground and even though its not lowered you will improve your traction performance and help eliminate your wheel hop issue. Below is a link to show you what UMI Performance has to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Thanks

Like above, shocks, and maybe change your spring and check your pinion angle.Sounds like your not getting weight transfer, add adjustable shocks to the front to.

LCA RB's should help, also, do you have a relocation bracket to get the torque arm off of the transmission? I don't know if it'll help with launching, but if it's that violent it might save your tranny!!!!

Also, a larger rear sway bar should help too
