From what I've heard, max rear tire pressure and 10-15psi front. Front weights if legal in your class. 4wd low 2nd gear and let her do work lol

No weights, it's a work stock class, but I don't know if I'm going to have the truck ready in time now

Make the hitch as high as you can, leave the air in the front tires, roll into the throttle slowly so it doesn't start hopping on you.
