Are you sure its your rear end and not your tires and suspension? I'm not claiming to now much about racing, but it seems like with a 3in. drop you'd have to run pretty stiff springs which allows less weight to be transferred to the back which would in turn cause traction problems. What do you have done to your rear end now? or is it the stock 7.5?

pre loading, get staged then go to neutral, give the engine a few good revs so you have a vacuum built up and can press the brake down harder then back into 1st and give her as much gas as you can before the tires start to spin. on the 3rd yellow dropped the brake and give it a lil more gas and once you moving floor it.
