-2 degrees camber front and rear will help a lot.

for loose dirt i would stick with 25 or 30 weight oil. You will want light oil to help with traction.

I use 30 wt front and rear. Keep the rear a bit lower than the front. Like the real trucks do. With that and the -2 degrees camber, seems a lot better than the stock set up. Plus good corner set up and throttle control is a big plus.

WILL they nose over to much with 30wt?

Not at all. I have the smallest spacer in the front shocks, and I have the shock bottom mounted on the outer most hole. No nose diving on mine. Handles pretty well.
