I haven't in 7 years. Since you only have a Bigfoot 2500 based on your profile, you aren't even approaching a truly heavy camper. What tire pressure were you running and what brand tires? Is that a long bed?
You are correct I have a Bigfoot 2500 that weights 3700 lbs when wet and fully loaded. I have weighed the truck and camper and I am not over weight even for the tires that GM put on the truck. For extra safety, I added the 19.5's.
The 19.5's are Bridgestones and I run the fronts at 75 psi and the rears at 90 psi. I got them from Rickson.
I am hoping by posting this that a blow out is something that happens once in a while but not something we all should expect.
