well first of all if you feel that wheel hop again let off the gas so you don't break you rearend. I don't know all the things to build it up, but i'm sure someone will.

Start with a set of BFG or Mickey Thompson drag radials. You cant hop if you dont spin.

steeda had a "stop the hop" package going on a little while ago. It came with a couple suspension components to reduce wheel hop. Call them up and ask.
