Got a quote today. Tire guy informed me the same info I keep reading....I'm going to hate the unloaded ride. He showed me his most aggressive tires too. Not super impressed, but I get it, these tires ...

Just got back from driving my 03 F350 SRW with 19.5s unloaded. I had the tires at 80 psi and the Rancho shocks at 1. It rode like a truck not a car no biggie. I really don't like the cowboy cadillac feel, give me a stiff work truck feel anytime.
This I can deal with. I run my tires at 80psi and don't mind it when I leave the stableloads engaged either. So if it is similar, no worries.
Don't really want to flesh out another used truck either, so making what I have work is best. I plan on a new truck in '18 after we move out to the property...so now is not the time for a new rig. Thanks Buzz.
The 80 psi ride is very different on 19.5's than other tires. As I recall, 70 psi is the minimum on 19.5's.
Two things to consider on the 19.5's, load capacity and sidewall flex. Load capacity is greater and Sidewall flex is less.
