All of your problems sound like they can be addressed by lifting the truck (suspension lift. You need to get the frame and everything further from the ground, not just the body).

Also you're probably going too fast. Try keeping it under 10-15 mpg. If you need to go faster than that (exception of hill climbs) then your truck isn't built to handle what you're trying to do, and you will break things.

Wow 5-15mph are you kidding? I hit the dam hole doing 30ish. When I do the hills I'm doing a good 40 in low range. This hill is one you don't want to stop on and there is no backing down. I have been there seen ppl try to back down I'm not one for stopping on the side of a cliff and when you go over the edge. The trees will help you stop on at the bottom.

Well yeah if you don't want to break ****. If you don't care go as fast as you want. Or if you build your **** to be tough so it won't break.

Want kind of gears do you have? My truck tops out at like 25 mph in low range.
