    So basically stiffer suspension will prevent the weight from shifting backwards as much, so there will be more force keeping the wheels down to the ground. Correct?

    if you get bigger and wider tires will that give you less wheel hop, due to there being more surface area to distribute the power to?

    Stiffer Front Suspension will give you less wheel hop. But on a front wheel drive car it will give less traction.
