hopping and jumping in 4x4

I need help I visited North Carolina last week and took my baby on the beach and I thought I was going to get stuck. The truck hopped and jumped violently in 4x4 high and low. It was able to crawl out of the sand but when I gave it some juice it violently hopped and jumped scared the bejesus out of me and my wife. Anyone else experience this problem and what should I have the dealer do to fix. Still under warrenty. 2004.5 cummins shortbed

Thank goodness I thought something was wrong. I never lowered the tire pressure and I still have the stock tires on. It didnt do it the first year I got it it just pulled right through the sand. Maybe the tires were just new I dont know but I thought something was wrong for sure. Thank you for the quick response.!!! I need the 30k check up at the dealer and I was gonna ask them about it.
Thanks again
