Effect of Tire and wheel size question.
I am ordering a new truck( F250) with camper pkg for an Artic Fox 811. (Will be loaded very close to factory limit or slightly over) I did a limited search but could not find much discussion on tire...

Looking at F250 and F350 specs, I decided the F250 with 18" wheels and the camper package was pretty much the same as an F350 SRW. So, I bought an F250 which saves some $$ on annual vehicle reg taxes.
I hope that was a good choice. I would like to have bought an F350 DRW, but the DW wanted instead to live with less camper. I think her judgment was good, since we need the truck for utility use.
We bought a Lance 850, complete with happyjack mounting brackets and airbags on the suspension. I learned in our first few trips, that using airbags only to level the load resulted an very unsatisfactory ride. We had a lot of sway, the rig rocked back and forth like a lake buoy. Since then, I have installed stableloads, hoping if I engage the overloads and run less pressure in the airbags, we will have less sway.
Comments welcome.
