handling/traction comromise

I installed the Hotchkis TVS kit (no helper springs), and now when I moderately step into it from a stop, my tires spin and hop all the way through the freekin intersection. They didn't spin at all with the stock setup with Hellwig helper springs bolted on. I'm bone stock under the hood, FTVB, F1's (35psi in the rear), and stock Bilsteins (also waiting on a Spyder II and a DMR panhard). It seems most traction discussions are drag oriented. Wondering what traction devices would not interfere with handling/cornering?
Thanks,
Chris

(I know I want the best of both worlds but I'm NOT going for the Vette or Mustang. I'm going to keep the people asking "what the hell is he trying to do with that truck?)

JLP long bars, you'll still spin but you won't have the wheel hop
