I have most fun on freeway exits hitting curves between 80-90
mph, but there is usually ruts in the curve that causes the outside
tire to hop which not a good feeling. I realize I have to upgrade my
suspension, but now I am not in a rush to do that since I have inflated
my tires to the spec of 35 psi cold.

What a difference, now when I take curves, the car feels planted and
the wheel hop is greatly reduced to almost nothing. Having the correct
tire pressure will greatly improve your handling.

I have stock suspension and tires (20"). I just wanted to share and
hopefully here your experiences.

The steeper the gearing the more noticeable the wheel hop is, 3:15 is not to bad. Cause would be soft cradle and differential bushings, vertical links and toe rods that flex, soft toe bushings, soft springs, poor stock tires. Replacing more then one will help to reduce and eliminate your issues.
