    The easiest and cheapest way to reduce wheel hop is to get some leaf spring clamps. You can get them at most auto parts stores for about $10. I have them on my truck and they completely eliminated wheel hop...even at the track. Just make sure you really tighten them. The downside is they will make your truck ride rougher in the rear and they will drop the rear of your truck about an inch.
