Default Spins too easily

Ok, i have 315/75R16 bfg all terrain ta's on my truck and 4 inch blocks in the back(factory blocks removed), and fabtech trac bars. Now, and even before my new gears, I could light them up off of the line, but it was too easy compared to the amount of acceleration i would get after it hooked. I dont feel any wheel hop or anything, they just spin and spin. Would my lift blocks affect this greatly? Do my trac bars help me hook at all? Should i run caltracs as well as my trac bars?

The BFGs are a high void tread design IE: less traction on teh street. Cal-tracs are basically trac bars dont waste your time. Easy up on teh throttle. What do you expect when you floor it from a dead stop with a decent amount of power?
