I don’t think there is any reason to assume 1000 for personal items. You can carry the same amount of stuff that you backpack … if you want. With my SRW, we limited what we carried. OP could, too.
On the other hand, it’s clear that you can see 990s on SRWs frequently in the NW. Yes, they are all overloaded. I’m sure OP knows that.
I added 19.5s because I didn’t want to be one of the people who had a blowout in the middle of nowhere in the NW. My Host is a similar weight, but I survived with my SRW for 8 1/2 years because a DRW wouldn’t work for my DD. Yes, I’ve seen SRWs with blowouts due to being overloaded. Some were pretty new rigs. Some stories have been told here. Overloading your tires is never a good idea.
For the record, my Rancho 9000s were still completely fine after 8 1/2 years. They do have a Limited Lifetime Warranty, so assuming you are the original owner, they can be replaced under warranty. That being said, I have Bilsteins on my F450. I didn’t think I needed Ranchos on 9 to control sway, but they definitely worked on my SRW. I have to assume Ranchos fail due to the posts that say it, but mine didn’t.
