If your tires are slick get some good tires.
But you need to start adding some weight back there on the rear end to get traction.
Try 4-6 bags of sand and see what it does. If that helps put in a few more as long as your springs will hold them up.
And try to ease up on the power a little on take off.
Smoking tires do not put you down the road.
Let us know how it goes.
