Default Steering/Suspension problems!!

Whats up everyone. New to the forum. I've got a yerf dog 3202. Pretty much stock. I have the "Roll cage" off and keepin that way, for now. And I replaced the 6hp tecumseh with a 6.5 clone. I'm plannin on puttin on hubs and bigger rims and tires in the front, and possibly bigger/better shocks.
The problem I'm having is when me and my buddy get in it the suspension is maxed out, the Tires are leaing in inwards towards the cart, like this / \, and the shocks almost maxed out and the spindles look pretty strained. I was thinking of welding another shock mount just above the stock one so that when no one is in the a arms are arched more and the cart the tires are like this \ / then when someone gets in the tire/a arm alignment would go to where it should be, between this \ / and this ||. Any other ideas or am I about right on this? Also the steering is shot!! its hard as heck to turn left and right with the more weight thats added. When no ones in it it turns easy. I dont know whats wrong. I know I'll have to adjust my steering and tie rods and stuff after the front tire and suspension mod so I'd like to take care of all the modifying at once. so I'm not adjusting the steering to the new suspension then adjusting it again for the bigger wheels and tires. i'll be needing some help with all of the mods dont know alot about this stuff so the helps appreciated thanks
