Is there any way I can get it DE rated 1,500 lbs? For godsake, this
truck can only go 30 mph up hills EMPTY, I shutter at the thought of

There's one way I can see doing it - whether it can be done to
legally derate the truck for registration purposes in the eyes of your
state DMV is another thing entirely...

Write GMC Corporate and ask what happens to the GVWR rating if you
take one leaf off the bottom of the rear spring stack, and use a
shorter center locating pin/bolt. Might be just enough.

It's that or change the tires and rims - let them be the weak link.
