Those look great!!
They may only have ~500lbs more capacity than your Nitto's, but I bet they feel 2x's at stout!
I think my truck rides better empty with the 19.5's too, but I do "feel" uneven road surfaces more.
You won't be sorry.
I have had my truck up to 12.2K with the 19.5's, about 20K GCW and they are VERY stable. I have also done a few miles at 11K with 2 quads above the bed rails, and 1/3 of a chord below them.. again VERY VERY stable.
There are no OEM sway-bar's on 3rd gens, only difference on a 2500 vs 3500 SRW is the upper overloads, which don't even come into play on my truck until above 6K on the rear axle which is why I installed airbags.
Thanks for info. visions rated at 4500 lbs. Tires state 4805 load capacity at 110 psi. I am running 100 psi in rear and 80 psi in front when camper is loaded. Only 100 lbs. added to front axle when loaded at CAT scale. Rest of weight was riding on rear axle. I was under tire and axle ratings but very close to max or over on original 17 forged aluminum wheels that came with truck new.
