Default wheel hop

Okay, I have an 02 1500 quadcab 4wd SLT with the 9.25" rear, detroit locker, 4.56 gears and Fabtech 6" lift and 35" Cooper Discoverer STT's on Driv 17x10 wheels. I get wheel hop now. I want to know what the best option/route to go with the rear end, and if anyone has any or all of these options and please post pics if you do. Whether you have these same options or close to it, is it best to just replace the rear leaf springs for stronger ones, add helper springs, add air bags, or traction bars? I would like to keep the same ride quality without making it too stiff of a ride or jacking up my rear end even higher. My truck rides even as is, but I am afraid of axle wrap. Also, for those of us that have a detroit locker, does your back end feel like it wants to go to the rightlike mine?

Default RE: wheel hop

Mainly what i am looking for is people that already have these options, and what they thought of their fix. I have read many of the postings on wheel hop here in these forums, but none that really answered my questions. If anyone has 6" suspension lift, 4.56 gears, 35" tires, a detroit locker, please tell me what you did to fix, and how you like it. I would like to keep my ride height, and also not lose any flex in suspension if possible. brand names and prices would also be very much appreciated.
