. What are your upgrades?. Did you add a generator? We are not (solar panels)...

A/C, generator, rear awning and satellite dish are the only ones that come to mind that have any weight.

Vision Heavy Hauler rims are rated at 4500 lbs each and Rickson rims are rated over 5000 lbs.

Since yours is 2wd, you just need the rear pair upgraded to 19.5"

As already posted, tires and rims should be upgraded. 19.5's do not do well in soft sand but don't be afraid to take it out on the hard pack. If you do want better flotation, look for rims and tires rated close to 4000 lbs each so you have some margin for packing extras.

Start with StableLoads on your stock springs before adding additional ones to compensate for rear sag. Stability will come with proper spring rate, an anti-sway bar, stiffer tires and more heavily dampened shocks.

we could not find 19" rims for the F250 (which started my research with 1191).. If this is too heavy, I may need to go lighter :-:'(.

no soft sand camping this truck is 2wd.

We just bought a 2014 1050s. Took it to the scales before a trip and the camper was 4000 lbs. Thats with a full tank of water and 4 days worth of food, clothing and other stuff.

What's your dry weight? What was your rear axel weight?

It's a big camper on a 3/4t. Are you planning to tow behind it too? If not, it can be done with some modifications.

No towing, just using it for weekend trips to the coast.

My 1055 was supposed to weigh about 350 pounds more dry weight so if my rig is anything to go by you will need to add 800-1000 to that number with all your stuff on board. At a minimum you need 8" wide rims and tires rated at 3750 each to carry it. Me I'm upgrading to 19.5 rims and tires which will give me about 9600 capacity at the wheel/tire level and my rear axle is at least capable of that as right now I am about 300 under each rear tires max load and 1200 under on the fronts with 3750# max load tires
