I just whish I didn't have to go soo tall. :(
Yeah that’s the one consideration for LT tires with high load ratings. Generally wider and taller aspect ratio.
Question is do you really want or need 4000lb tires?
Technically most all OE truck rims seem to be rated around 3500-3600 lbs when one can find that cryptic info. And you can get 3640lb tires in smaller 275-70-18.
Both of which are over 400lbs/tire better than the 17s ( presumably) that you’re running now with 3195lb rated tires ( and no issues).
Fwiw, I put a lot of miles with a 4000lb + camper on a shortbed truck sitting on 3640lb and 3750lb rated tires without tire issues.
