Good tires. :B
I took a different route than most when I picked my camper and tires. I didn't seek opinions on the internet.
I bought exact truck I wanted with the sole purpose of carrying a truck camper.
I talked with a close friend who was a Lance distributor for over 40 years before I bought my current camper. I did my walk thru with him on the phone.
Over the years he spent a lot of time with both Ford and Lance engineers discussing and planning trucks and campers.
He is very familiar with my truck and its capabilities.
I have another close friend that has been in the tire business for close to 40 years. I called looking for a set of 18" take-off and new tires.
I ended up keeping my 17" factory wheels and he told me that the tires I chose would serve me well.
I replaced the OE shocks and added air bags after I bought this camper.
I'm quite pleased with how it handles and I have zero worries about it being slightly over weight.
The manufactures "safety margins" exceed my weights.
