1100-RX Illusion Travel Lite

Thanks for those comments, you answered my next question about the ride. What tires did you upgrade from? Did the upgrade compromise the integrity of the truck?

I am often hauling at max weight for Rge E tires - no like - changed to 19.5 Rickson's/tires to have reserve tire capacity. Very nice increase in stability, not so much need to air up air down, heavier the load the better the truck handles, wear indicates they are going to last a long time. Great on snow, ice, and gravel too. We stay out of soft sand.

Main disadvantages: cost (but ok vs changing trucks), sidewalls are strong = stiff - truck rides like E's with 75psi & tires follow parallel cracks and ruts in pavement so the truck "ducks around" more than before. Tire/wheel combi is heavier than stock so fuel economy suffers a bit, especially in stop 'n go.

Effective gear ratio went up just over 5% due to increased diameter - this was an advantage on our truck.

everything like you said :C

except I don't a have darty duck feeling

Whats the grade?

I feel like the "Lone-Wolf" responding here!! Tires do seem to be the weak link. A set of Rickson wheels and tires are in the $3500-ish range. Vision 81 wheels and locally purchased tires will be less expensive.

So the only altetnative is to upgrade the tires to a f rating then

OK, so the loaded camper weight will easily be over 4,000 lbs.
