stronger shocks and stiffer springs, z10 makes some traction bars, poly motor mount inserts will help also. Try dropping the tire pressure lower also.

All the things just mentioned plus adding a limitted slip dif will help a lot. It's expensive though. do the simple stuff first.

The springs alone virtually eliminated the wheel hop on my car.

I have poly swaybar bushings, shocks, and good tires that don't slip, too
