Mark,
Does your new truck have secondaries (top overloads) as a 3500 package? If so, explore stable loads. You will get less squat. What size wheels and tires do you have, and what is their factory load rating? Does the new rig have an anti-sway bar? I've heard some newer Dodges do not. You just need to incrementally increase your rear axle load carrying capacity (with tires usually the weak link in the chain).
I cruised the internet after you posted this to find out if they make G rated traction truck tires that might fit your needs. Only one found. A 16" rim size only. Oh, plenty of 19.5 stiffies out there with no way to lower the pressure for sand.
Now starts the 'incrementalism' we are all so fond of: Getting there by degrees.
Looks like a very good start, however.
Having been in your Lance at Expo, I am still two thumbs up.
