Default 234" Mike Bos slip joint dragster...pulling the wheels

Our problem is we have a 234" Mike Bos dragster with a SBC it runs 8.50s with 1.18 60ft...the car is pulling the wheels out of the beams causing the car to have inconsistant reaction times and ETs. We're up to 75lbs on the nose. We're running a 6000 stall 8" converter, and 5lbs of air in the rear tires. The car will run a 8.62 et, with a 1.18 60ft and a .498 light then run a 8.59 et, with a 1.20 60ft and a .520 light. We added a 42lb battery midchassis, it caused the car to chirp the tires down track. No redlights but took the consistancy away from the car as well.
Whats the best way to keep from pulling the wheels out of the beams. I don't like adding anymore weight up front.
