What would you do?
Well, I have a dilemma on my hands. After buying a 2017 XD Titan last year only to find out I severely underestimated my research as to actual payload capacity of the truck. I decided I’d do even more...

I'm not going to tell you what to do, either, except to say that IF you keep it, you absolutely MUST do something about the tires. They are the weak link here and you run a real risk of having a blowout while driving overloaded like that.
Everything else, you are PROBABLY just shortening the lifespan of the mechanical components, but the overloaded tires are a catastrophe waiting to happen.
I agree the tires are the weakest link in this set up, and going to 19.5s will cure that problem. With that said, for the cost of the tires and some patients I could just move up to a dually. Which would give some safety margin. The OEM Firestone tires on it have done a good job, but how long it will take to blow one is the $50,000 question!
