I think its more the tires that cause wheel hop, springs wouldn't do much.

stiffer springs will make it worse. get new shocks and an alignment.

Using those little blocks that fit in between the coils of the springs may help. Supergoat used them on his FC and it made a huge difference as far as the car bogging down when the wheels spun.
