Just figure out how to slow down the air going over the top of the body, without causing additional drag, and you will get rid of the lift effect (bernoulies principle).

Aerodynamics is a tricky thing - there's a reason automotive and racing companies spend a fortune in wind tunnels.

Here's a thought - most leaf blowers can flow about 100mph - use one to try different things. Use a stationary video camera to record the various configurations. Maybe even get a buddy to bring theirs over so you can get more volume. Got any old smoke bombs laying around - glue some of those to the ground in front of the truck to create smoke to help see the air.
