My first trip out, very overweight.

From the tow vehicle pic's topic, you say you have "Goodyear 622's and 19.5 visions" on your truck.

While there are certainly other factors contributing, I don't think the G622's are the right tire for your rig. While they may have the weight rating needed, the "Unisteel" construction has the steel belts only in the tread area. I would look for some tires that have steel in the sidewalls as well, which will stiffen them up a lot.

You will probably lose some off-roading capability, and you may not like the ride, but they won't flex like the tires you have.

:):)

Unfortunately i need SOME ride and some off roading capability.. I had a hard time in some sand. ONe of my friends is a rep for ATD tires. He was the one who recommended the 622s. Dang. I cant win. lol

Duals will definitely cost you some off-roading capability. They ride up on top of marginal surfaces (water, mud, snow, sand) as though you were wearing snowshoes.

That seems like a positive for sand right?

I dont do a lot of 4x4. I just dont want to negate that totally.

I've found that my off-pavement traction is lousy when I'm unloaded, and just fine when I have a ton of pin weight pressing down on the rear axle. I have 2-wheel drive, so I'm not the right person to give you an opinion on how a 4x4 dually will handle in sand. I'm sure others here can chime in.
