No advice to offer on the rims, but I will say that if you buy another TT and load it to 9500 lbs. I find it hard to believe that the 1/2 ton truck will be able to handle it suspension-wise.
My guess is you're going to be a good deal over the GVWR of your truck.
I want to see this 9000# TT with a 650# tongue weight!!
I suspect it will be close to double that and that will use up most of the payload of MOST F150s.
Good catch on the tongue weight, I hadn't even thought of that. Our Jayco Eagle weighs in at almost 9000 lbs. when fully loaded for a trip and the tongue weight with that according to our Sherline scale is 1250 lbs. That's 14% of our overall TT weight.
