Default wheel spin problems

I'm having trouble turning off advance trac and traction control. Can't seem to figure it out cuz I always get wheel hop trying to spin the tires on my 2011 5.0. Any help would be great! Thanks

Wheel hop has nothing to do with traction control. You will get it with it turned off. I don't have this issue in my 11 but I did in my 07. New LCAs solved the issue in the 07.

Done with the brakes pedal depressed:

Push once....shuts off traction control (tire spin)
Push twice quickly.....both traction control and advance trac (sideways drift) will allow some play within certain limits
Push and hold 5-8 seconds....shuts off everything...HANG ON AND BE CAUTIOUS

I don't have wheel hop in my 11 but I did install steeda sport springs so I'm not sure if that helped.
