I believe the AF 811 is just an updated 860, maybe a couple inches longer.
I had no problems on my maiden voyage last month, all the way up the Alcan Highway. Good test for the truck's suspension and wheels for sure!
I have Toyo MT's on mine. Again, not ideal for camper hauling. Tall, squirmy mud tires, siped to boot, but they are rated for 3950 lbs. Kept my tires at least within their load rating!
The OE GM PYO rims (16" aluminum wheels of that era) are very stout. Dont know the load rating but they will pack that camper without issue, based on my experience with my 02 DMax.
