Might be time to step up to a bus box. I'm sure Richie will be along shortly, but he was in a similar place back in the early '00's and he did a box virtually identical to yours.
It does mean IRS, but thats no bad thing really!

For this you need a bus box with folts or rancho axles. We just got one from rancho. Complete with IRS to swing axles

Does Folts axles handle 400-500 ft.lbs to the tires and sub 1,4 60-foot times?

Is there such a thing available as a staged lock-up clutch (like on my bike......  http://www.mtceng.com/index.php/technical-information/7-clutch-differences  )?

Rev6. It's actually more similar to a gen2 multistage than a lockup or multistage  as the weights are on the engine side of the clutch, not the input shaft side.
