It might take a while to get it worked out but don't let it discourage you. You'll get it figured out.

yep make some suspension stops or I know a lot of guys run airbags. You could clamp your leaf springs which would help as well. Like Pulltilbroke said, you can run your tires on the low side except for the rears, those you want aired up so that you don't lose hitch height going down the truck from the tires sqooshing. I've been runnig my rears pretty low and need to try running them high this next time from what everyone has told me. I'm still learning too, ya learn more each time.

Also what are you weighing in at? you want to be as heavy as they will allow
