At the end of the day the real limiting factor is the 3450-ish max rating on an E-rated tire. Only way to get more capacity is 19.5 tire and G-rated or dually.
There are 4080 rated tires in size 18 at least. I ran 19.5s on a F350 SRW because I simply needed a SRW for my daily driver. Any DRW was too wide. If I would have known about those 4080 18s (don’t know if they existed then), I would have gone that route instead of 19.5s. The ride loaded was fine with 19.5s, but the empty washboarded gravel road ride was pretty bad with 19.5s.
Fwiw, I went DRW when I no longer needed the SRW. As it turned out, even the SRW wasn’t small enough to park where I worked later. That led me to buy a car as a daily driver.
