Suspension; how to stop the rear wheel spin

[Boss X]

Its been quite a while since I last posted due to a serious illness but I'm trying to get back and just got to get this issue fixed before it kills me.

How can I stop or lessen the rear wheel spin/slippage on my 02 Sport Trac 4x4. If its wet out, even a little bit, the rear wheels break loose. There's has to be a better way than sand bags. I have a severe handicap when it comes to suspensions. This truck has the towing package but is otherwise stock except for the wheels/tires which are custom but still 16".

Pardon me if this has been discussed previously.

Well the lead foot you might have could be the culprit? haha just kidding! I was on another website and they had this water bag thing you put in the cargo area if that helps or put a locker in it.

Tires are excellent. Its just an issue in the wet and rain. A water bag just sounds like the liquid version of sand. Isn't there a suspenion mod/upgrade that will help?

not that i can think of....because enhancing the suspesnion would give you a higher load capacity or lift/lower not add traction.....a locker or a L/s would help a little...

the water thing is pretty cool, it is set up so that the water does move slush around in the back it stays in place.
