a stickier tire would help but i think theres a lot that could be done before its really needed.
assuming trans is shifting fine and not hanging on gears or anything
have you checked out the driveshaft/pinion/diff angles?
does it feel like it weight transfers or stays pretty neutral? 2wd you should be trying to plant all that weight on the rear axle, i'm not 2wd/leaf sprung so i havent put any thought into traction bars but to me if not set up correctly they could inhibit the rear end from squatting on launch
have you tried launching it differently; off idle, brake boosted against the converter, somewhere in between?
if it feels like it transfers weight well i would start by looking for some adjustable shocks to control it, no idea what lifted guys are using- the longest qa-1 shocks would work up to about 18-19" at ride height

all angles are good no transferred weight gets up and goes, I even spun a good amount out the hole
