FWIW, I apprecatie you guys with the big offroad trucks participating here on the forum and keeping us honest. Your real-world experience is great, both for a dose of reality and for the dose of the super-cool fantasy trucks.
I spent about $2K on my set of 6 tires for the record, and have about 60K on them and they are pretty much shot. Would love to slap on a set of 4 XZL's and wheels and be able to air down and get onto deeper sand. But that bird chirping in my ear says "wouldn't it be more practical to have an awesome off-road Jeep as a toad instead?" You could just about buy a Jeep for the price of 4 tires and wheels for the big truck.....
It's all good, guys....there is no one-size fits all.
As I recall you have a Kodiak type truck. Does it have the front axle strength to deal with a super single? What type of front axle is it? Incidentally Vrakking Tyres in Netherlands

has some 14R19.5 Michelin XS that are only 930mm tall = 36.7", don't know load capacity but I'd guess it is >6000 lb/tire, only 300 euro each - new.
