mtn bike stem length adjustment

Hi.  I'm looking for any tips on adjusting mountain bike stem length.  I love my full-suspension trek women's specific mountain bike almost all the time - except when climbing steep pitches, then I have a hard time keeping my front wheel down on the ground, even while sitting as far forward on teh nose of the saddle as possible.   Never had this problem with my old hard-tail (which also had climbing bars).  I've lowered the handlebar, which helped some, but I think I might need a longer stem.  Does that sound right?  If so, any tips on how to know what size stemwould be better?  Thanks!
