I'll call my wheel manufacturer tomorrow. Solid point.
I've got Method Wheels in a 18x9. When I bought the truck and whatever I put on it up until 6 months ago had zero regard for a TC.
Since my wife and daughter loved it (my wife has given a TC the nod) I want to get my truck lined up to carry well.
If you have Method NVs, you may have one of the only light truck wheels actually rated very high. 4600lb iirc. Method only makes 1 or 2 styles with that rating. Most other wheels /brands are between 3000-3600 lb rating.
That said, OE wheels are typically very stout. Aftermarket can be as well. Lots of people run OE wheels with same weight as you, including me. And lots run it on aftermarket wheels too. See it daily. Your call there.
For the truck, before helped springs, look at wedging the overload lower leaf either with wedges or stable loads. Although the 2 F250s I had. 2012 and 2014? Models both had really soft rear springs compared to other HD pickups.
