>>First of all, mine squeaks like crazy even on little bumps. When i got
my
truck new the leafs did that for thousands of miles, then the noise went
away... i installed my hotchkis and still about 10k miles later, it still
squeaks like that.<<

try lubin' the bushings... that's the only thing I can think of

>>Secondly, i noticed that with no tread on my stock tires there was a
nice
controllable drift when cornering under power... now with the firehawks,
it
doesn't slide, it sticks. If i really push it though it HOPS. The back
end
tries to roll and loses it and hops sideways<<

it's because you have no weight over the back. Any truck will do this.
Just deflate the rear tires some.. it'll help. I run my rears at 26psi
