Thanks for the comments.
To answer a few questions and make a couple of comments:
The truck loaded with gear/water/food and a full tank of fuel is at just under 6400 lbs on the rear axle.
Truck has a Hell Wig Big Wig rear anti sway bar installed already.
Bilstein 5100 shocks are "wrong". Do I need to replace with 4600's?? OR am I ok as is?
Haven't weighed the tongue weight of the trailer I want to tow. I would guess around 200 - 250 lbs.
My local Ford dealer and tire retailers are clueless when I explain what I'm trying to get done.
I assume that I have to replace my current 17x7.5" wheels to use a higher rated tire, right?
Is a 3750 rated tire about the limit for an 18" rim or are there higher rated options?
Can anyone please recommend a tire/wheel combination that will work?
Thanks for your advice.
