Sounds like you need LESS backspacing (so the wheels stick out a bit more)

3.75" backspace on a 8" wide rim is generally the best combo on these trucks with tires around 12.50" wide.

Remove the sway bar, you will get much better flex offroad. Its not to bad on the road without one. Thats what i did.
