Don't blame the 3.73s for the spinning! Get better tires and get some U/L control arms (plus some other suspension mods, buty I'd start there.)

tires, tires, tires.... and ease up on the clutch....but upper/lower control arms, 50/50 rear shocks and torques boxes will definitely make it get to the pavement better, also i assume you already have subframe connectors? if not invest in some....
