You will get improvement with lower spring rates and lower air pressure. You can’t avoid feeling a pothole. You can make it somewhat less jarring.

Do you have a leveling kit installed?

What fox shocks do you have?

And for the OP-
first, don’t be a friggin tool; at least try to avoid holes in the road.

second; is tour truck diesel or gas? fox shocks typically come valved for diesel trucks, you should get them revalved for a gas motor truck.

Given that there is no shock system that will prevent you feeling a single pothole, the recommendation that you drive around them is useful feedback. Perhaps a more realistic description of what you are trying to achieve and more details about your truck's suspension configuration will result in more useful feedback.
