I have that same problem with my GT because the lower control arm mounting point has been lowered (simulating a lift bar) and the bushings deflect like crazy. That's why i bought upper and lower control arms (steeda uppers came with harder differential side upper control arms) drag springs and drag struts

Hopefully i'll be able to see a result soon, but if that doesn't fit wheel hop i don't know what will.

Chances are your upper control arm bushings are too soft and are deflecting, changing pinion angle under load and causing your wheels to hop. You can get some uppers real cheap, that's personally what i would recommend.
