welcome to Dodge Forum... You can try to put a 3.91 or 4.10 gears in the truck which will give it a little more.... but at that weight you're still gonna stress than engine out a bit... I think it's time you considered upgrading to a 5.7L Hemi or a 5.9L Cummins....

It's not like the hemi is a big gas motor or anything...get a Viper or go home.
