Thanks guys. Great insights and I'm appreciative.
I really appreciate the earlier images! Picture worth a 1,000 words and all.
Lots to consider. As mentioned above, my local Chevy dealer has half dozen new 6-8" lifted trucks with 35x12.5x20's. My main interest is balancing, to the extent possible, towing performance with the off-road capability. Surely a modest middle ground can be found.
Likely a high quality 2-4" suspension lift kit at most, not for looks, but clearance of the 35x12.5x18 (or 20") Cooper ST MAXX I want. Heard great things from folks using these tires with jacked up trucks on 35's and 37's towing much heavier campers than I'm looking at. But I know know that is, Internet, unknown sources of info, etc.
Will continue to mull over it. But there are places I will go that stock tires won't work. I'm not buying a $60k truck and not being able to go where I want within reason. But there is much to consider I concede.
I have decided to get a Pro Pride WD hitch. I know we are buying 30' Airstream.
Everything else is less clear.:)
