Stop launching so hard.
What's quicker, really quick launch then broken at 15ft
Or slightly slower launch and arriving back at the start to run again?
You decide.

I think Danny B said his bars that he fits will help tramp but won't eliminate it.

It's not tramp as you get from a live axle Gareth but more like wheel bounce.
