That makes your load around 5,000. About the same as mine except I have extra wheels. I have broken air bag bolts, sheared off the upper air bag bracket, and broken into two pieces the right side frame. My advice is do all you can to avoid dirt roads with ruts that cause the frame to twist.

Buzz, wow what a weight! What does it handle like at that sort of weight? Have ever thought of using helium airbags or something like that?

What is your rear axle rating? Hopefully greater than 8000 pounds.

The axle is MFG to run with 9800 pounds. the door sticker reflects the OEM Tires and wheels which is useless in this discussion

What is your rear axle rating? Hopefully greater than 8000 pounds. If your truck came with the 8900 pound rear axle rating you are well within the capacity.

You are carrying a load, smart thing to do was to get your 19.5s. You are heavy but with those 19.5s should be ok as you have weighed at the heaviest load you can instead of guessing.

Good job

19.5 wheels are rated at 9000/pr 19.5 tires 9610/pr
