Try a spohn torque arm, they do more than the control arms. If you ever hook, you break your rear instead if you got any kind of power. Your wheel hop is saving you if you got lots of power.

I'd say the cheapest way to do it is to buy the ford 9" housing from moser and just find a center section out of a junkyard or find someone selling it cheap. I found chevy 12 bolt real cheap on fbody.com Somebody on the clssifieds is selling a modified 12 bolt to fit our thirdgens. I believe his name is efmike or something like that.

Actually wheel hop is incredibly bad. It puts very intense shock loading through the whole drivetrain which can shatter rears, axles, u-joints, driveshafts, and transmissions. You're thinking of regular old spinning wheels, which isn't bad for the driveline as it is reducing stress on the driveline.
