LOL ... I see .. I run something like 30 in front and 28 in back. I think I have a little much in there now, it's prolly higher than that. I thought maybe you were running something like 32 on the street or something.
If it makes you feel better, I would have waited on ya ..
Mext suggestion would be some traction bars. They help with more than just wheel hop.

it probably hurts you to take pressure out of your tires. because radials don't give in the sidewall they give on the tread and if you don't have enough pressure you'll actually lose traction.

oh not true, I disagree
if I run 32lbs of air in the tires, I will spin the tires like there is no tomorrow, even at the track,
experimented at the track and came to find out the less air in the tire the less wheel hop I had. but there is a cutt off point dont wont too run on flat tires
At the Thunder Shootout I had 22 lbs in there and wasnt getting any quicker started messing with the air pressure and went to 15lbs I dropped a 1/10 of a second and had some wheel hop. by the last run I was down to 11lbs and little to no wheel hop.
oh and I started at running a 14.9 for my first run, by the end of the race I was down to a 14.7, most everyone else was complaining about getting slower.

This is about the 10th time I have been asked this.)

GreenTahoe: WHat would you think about a truck taking some f-bods heads up?
