Have you tried Hinson diff and engine mounts? Not sure that there is one correct answer.

More traction is an easy way to avoid it for the most part. With comparable power, I have nitto invo 345's on 20" wheels for street use and do not have wheel hop.

Softer tires will help, but mileage will really suffer. Something like NT05 R's. They eliminated my wheel hop at the drags.
