Thanks, nice to know the real axel rating.
I thought it could handle quite a bit more than the door sticker says. Door sticker= stock tire rating it appears.
I guess I stay away from the tunes for right now,vdont fix what ain't broken.
Need the bigger tires, so if my stock rims take it, I may go to the 285/75/16
If you are worried about the rim width, I'm not, have had 285s on PYO wheels before, but look for a set of Dodge 8 lug takeoff wheels. Having balloon tires on narrow rims wouldn't be my first choice for towing heavy.
The 3rd gen HD truck alloy wheels are 17x8 and are a direct bolt up to your truck, even the GM hubcaps fit. And they look much nicer IMO. Put a set on my 02 Dmax. Really sets the truck off too IMO.
Actually any Ram wheels up to current model up year will work and you can find takeoff wheels with new tires for less than a set of new tires.
And you can still sell someone looking to upgrade his truck your old wheels to offset part of the cost.
