The preload is adjustable on the rear shock. The adjustment takes places on the bottom of the shock. Get under and take a look and you'll see an aluminum fixture that the spring settles in to. That fixture has a "stair step" adjustment which is done with a spanner wrench. The farther up the stair step you go the more pressure or "preload" is put on the spring. That should help some but you should still watch the weight of your load on the ***-end, it's a common charactoristic of IRS equipped Utes to squat a bit.
