I didn't need the 19.5" wheels until I hitched up my enclosed trailer. Although I figured out how to load the camper and trailer to stay within my 18" wheel ratings, it was much less of a hassle once I had 9000 lbs of wheel rating per axle. Since my truck had the upper and lower overload springs and OEM stabilizer bar, I only needed the upper and lower StableLoads to to carry the camper level and steady. Once I added the weight of the trailer hitch is when I needed the higher rated wheels, heavier dampening shocks and air bags - I was close to 8000 lbs on the rear axle and just as stable (even if my wallet was the only thing lighter).
