What about 19.5" tires on your SRW truck?
Some of you may remember that we drove 3000 miles of haul roads in the Arctic in 2009 towing our Arctic Fox 29V. The Arctic Fox was quite comfortable and survived with only minor damage, but it was t...

In 08 I put 19.5's on my 97 K2500 with Michlen XDS-2. I had 40,000 on them when we went to Alaska. Loved the haul road, hated them skitters. I had 100 gal fuel tank in the bed and a 10' popup TC, gross was 11,000. My boy still has the truck and the right front was showing some wear due to a bad shock, but they've never had a problem. I had $2400 in the Vision alum wheels, tires, balancing beads, nitrogen and valve stems.
Tough as nails and as rougher riding than Teddy Roosevelt on San Juan Hill. I ran them at 90 psi.
I would venture the BFG's will handle your weight with no problem. How long they will last, I haven't a clue.
The XDS-2 were over $300 @. I figured that I would be able to get at least 150,000 out of the XDS-2's. Right now they've been on the truck 5 1/2 yrs I would guess they still have 50% tread left. They show no weather checking. The tires are regrooveable and recappable so I know there's plenty of rubber on the casings. When I gave it to the boy they had 60,000 mi two years ago. He doesn't haul anywhere near the weight to need heavier tires.
I have a dually now and much prefer the stability when pulling the 5er.
Good luck with what ever you decide upon.
