Alright, there are a few ways to solve this issue.

Stage 1 is Replace the rubber bushins in the rear with plastic ones.
LPE use to make them, Specter mmakes them, But stay away from the GM ones, not very happy people whom installed it.
Stage 2 UUC makes a Poly urathane bushin that helps reduce the "clunk" noise. This helps give the diff an extra bit of support that avoids too much movement that leads to diff failure...
Stage 3 is a little tricky. You have the BMR anti wheel hop kit, or the now discontinued KARs kit.

I am currently runnnin the Specter bushins, BMR trailin arms, BMR HD toe rods, GMPP diff cooler, Z06 Diff fluid, and UUC Poly Urathane bushin.

So far i dont have any wheel hop issues, as well as any noise transfered from the drive train into the cab.

All in all great MOD that should be done if you would like to burn rubber anytime soon...

As added avoidance i also got the now new UUC poly Urethane engine mounts and transmission mount. The stock ones play too much as well as spoil later on.

Only issue is there is a slight transfer of vibration from the engine to the chassis, but it does go away with time and a proper tune...
