Kenny Brown has a setup that is supposed to reduce wheelhop on the IRS. The only real way to cure it, though, is to do the stick axle swap.

Default irs bushings

Monkey Boy is right - a stick axle is the best for drag racing, and you could probably get some money for your IRS package on E-Bay or whatever. I put in the Steeda bushings, it isn't too hard if you have a decent set of tools and a bit of patience. I could probably do it again, subframe and diff, in about 12 hours.
