I put the truck on the scales yesterday and then set up what Bill Shope calls a traction dyno. (Scaled all 4 corners, remove rear scales and block rear tires, hook chain to rear of truck and winch weight off the front axle.) After adjusting the 4-link as much as possible I got it down to 98lbs. from equal loading on the back tires on launch. (If I move the battery I can get it down to 43lbs.)
Is this close enough for it to launch straight?Dave 
Thats a unknown for your ride... to me thats still
high but I deal with a lot lighter cars... most you
can do now is try it and find out

Scaling just gives you a starting point and a point to reset to. The only real way to find out is to take it to the track and adjust from there.
