Sounds like your unloading the rear tires because the front end rises intially then comes back down and takes the weight off the rear. You need an adjustable front shock to let it come down slower. I had the same problem, went with a 4 bar and going with double adj coil overs in the front. Can't wait for spring!

seems like if you want a low truck with traction, a flip kit is the way to go... maybe a flip kit and lift shackle if you dont want it so low.

and front suspension is just as important as rear. it all has to work together, especially trying to hook something with a 140+" wheelbase and that weighs over 5K
