What shock oil and diff oil is in the truck now? It sounds all around too soft, but diff oil can also play a role. I have the newer xt8 and use blue springs all around with 45/40 or 50/45 front/rear shock oil. I use 10k in the center, 3k in the rear and 7k in the front diff. I do get some chassis slap, but it handles rough tracks pretty well, is very responsive and has great steering. The newer version is a little longer with minor suspension changes(upper front arms) vs the older truck, but similar settings should still yield similar results.
