Default How to eliminate wheel hop?!

So, I was practicing some launches the other day, and I noticed some lovely wheel hop. How do I go about eliminating this? I don't want o break an axle or something.

Sorry. i have searched about 14 times and for some reason cannot get any of that to come up. I apologize for making a repeat, I guess no one wants to help someone who honestly tried searching.

you can bandaid or actually fix the problem.

bandaid:

tire pressure changes
launch differently

fixes:

proper LSD
Solid rear diff bushings < I recommend... completely solved the issue

+1 on the Solid diff bushings, however they are much harsher on the LSD.
