Thanks for the replies I do have metal stems & it sits inside all thru the summer months. Actually I do remove the camper in Oct. & use my truck thru the Winter. I've got have the outer dual checked as it was down 10psi in one week.
I thought that by going to a 19.5" wheel I could use a multiply tire that would hold up better on the sharp rocks etc. Even though my camper is only an 880 Lance its pushing close to 4000 lbs when loaded. Which is over my capacity for my truck. I haven't looked recently but I think the GVW for an old 99 4 X 4 Cummins is 11,000 which is a lot less that say a new Ford or Dodge Dually? I believe ( I could be wrong)
Besides I was thinking that by going to a little taller tire it would help my fuel mileage (I have a 4.10 rear end)
I do have the Tork bumps on my over loads which has helped, but it still rolls, even going in low range. I think a Hellwig? larger sway bar will help this.
