I have put 5,000 miles on my 2011 Ford F-250 in the last three weeks of cross country adventure. I am on factory Michelins and stock Ford 18" wheels. I am at 11,500 lbs and have had zero problems with my truck and set up. From the west coast to Ohio and back on every type of road. SRW truck to boot. I haul an Arctic Fox 865.
I bought my tires and wheels just like you did, had air bags and Rancho 9000's and added upper Stable Loads before my trip. I air up until they are about 2/3rds contacted with the overloads and the truck sits fine. I ordered the truck with camper pkg and heavy duty suspension when new.
I guess that I've been wondering if I need to stiffen up the rear springs to make this all work without having to rely on the air bags. The spring stack on my F250 does not have upper overloads and has two full length spring section with a lower overload spring.
