DTE has a great write up on what helps reduce wheel hop. Make sure you're running a DTE brace, otherwise youre likely to break your differential and transmission while suffering wheel hop.
From what i understand different shocks, sway bars and poly bushings were about the only options you have. Change to a different tire, either a hair softer or a bit harder, depending on your goals.

If you obliterate the tires you're much less likely to get wheel hop...which is why i do burn outs in 2nd gear instead of first.First and 2nd gear no longer have any wheel hop issues, only 3rd and part of 4th
