Any suggestions for a heavy TF2 setup?

I got my TF2 packed with a lot of heavy stuff. Inside and out. I'm running a tekin RX4 ESC and 45t motor, 2 servos (one for steering, one for shifting), and a 5000mah lipo on the inside. On the outside both front and rear bumpers are aluminum (the front has an RC4WD warn winch), Mojave body with a shell and an aluminum rack on the top loaded with scale accessories and a full interior... so yeah this weighs about a thousand tons... and yes I've ran into the expected issues. Saggy tires and fully compressed suspension. Any recommendations for tires? and what should I do about the suspension? Keep in mind I'm trying to look scale so I don't want any 130mm green boom racing shocks on this truck. Let me know your suggestions! Thanks!
 
You are looking to the same problems i have with my TF2 altough i use my TF2 just for slight Trail running. To acommedate the heavy load on top (topper, roofrack, lightbar) i used some Weights and sticked then to the chassis. That helped a bit. Tried to weighten my 1.55 wheels however the Weights didnt fit the small wheels.
I did used stiffer springs especcially ij the rear. In stock shocks.

For tires you can try Crawler Innovations Deuce's Wild Foams. About the stiffest foams out there and won't absorb water.
