put my 19.5s on today

Those of you with campers that are technically too heavy for any light duty truck have no choice but to either band-aid a pickup into handling the load or buy a Class 4 or 5 truck. I don't blame you for putting 19.5s on a 1 ton and rolling on, since that gets you the gearing for the highway, components that are probably capable of handling the load anyway, and tires and wheels that will certainly handle the load. But don't make the mistake of believing that installing Class 4 or 5 tires makes a pickup into a Class 4 or 5 truck. It doesn't. It just makes an overloaded pickup minus its weakest components.
Hopefully twodownzero will weigh in when we have our monthly visit by someone that wants to put a 4,500 lb Truck Camper, that they just bought off of Craig’s List, to fit on their ¾ Ton Chevy PU. “Will This Work?” or “I know some of you do it, tell me how to make my ¾ Ton Ford Truck a 1 Ton truck, cheap!”
