Some have suggested new bushings, shocks, a trans brace will help with the driveline shake/wheel hop.

Watch the parts or sale section. The Pfadt diff mount comes around now and then

How old are your tires? A stiff hardened older tire can also be giving you the problem. Worn shocks?

I don't have wheel hop and am not sure why but maybe its the new C6Z shocks.

New tires helped me out some.

Not doing burnouts is the only thing that actually solved the problem for me though
