If you feel you have the power,you can go up a size or two on your tires. I see a lot of trucks that size running 7.50 or 8.25's,and the added height may get you to 60 mph or so. I'm pretty sure with the stock engine you won't have enough power to go any faster than you can now with any kind of load.
