Default 4x4 Tahoe need information

We just got this ride yesterday and I have been used to driving my 1Ton dually since April so I was wondering;

-How can I make the ride a little harder I am use to the 1Ton truck ride now and like it, this truck feels real soft compared to what I am used to.

-This is a day to day truck and I am not into flashy wheels and crap but is there a set of rock hard shocks or relatively simple mod I can get that'll stiffen this boy up?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

nice ride Gl, I can appreciate your sarcasm...does it come with barf bags in the pockets on the doors? if you really want it to handle a little tighter, you can put a set of 20's on it, not be super flashy and be at the same tire height.

i would do the edelbrock EAS socks and get some load range "E" tires inflated to near max....that should stiffen the ride up a bit

No, but I insisted on electric windows... you know... not to get any one me and all! Actually if I get any on me I can always change my shirt inside out...

You may want to consider stiffer sway bars also.
