I switched back after 7 years on 19.5s. I recently swithched to 18" V-tec wheels rated at 3650lbs and 285/75/18 Toyo tires rated at 4080 lbs. My truck rides so much better and is so much quieter. My new wheels which are also made by Vision safely give me 7300 lbs of axel rating. My tires are safe up to 8100 lbs per axel. They are half the price and my truck is much more enjoyable to drive. Those 19.5s beat the ball joints and tie rods to the point of replacement. My truck carries my Northern Lite camper wonderfully with the new wheel tire setup. I wont go back to 19.5s and I dont miss them. If I were to get a larger slide out style camper I'd make my truck a dually first.
