You can get adjustable shocks. Go full hard in the back and full soft up front. That keeps the back from squatting down which helps keep the front wheels on the ground. Also, HRC has lowering springs on the front of their RS and stock springs on the rear, again to help weight transfer.

If you can deal with a LOT of vibration go with Prothane motor mount inserts and an AFX solid front mount. This will rattle your teeth though.
