Been there done that on the Vision 19.5's. Not again. I would buy a dually today if I could afford it. If I do the 19.5's for some reason I want 225's in Load range F. 18" tires get me the same exact load rating for a lot less $$. I do not want to re-gear my truck from the 3.73's to turn the commercial 245's. Expense can get out of control real quick when you are trying to beef up a truck. I am going to buy a dually in the next couple of years for sure and be done with it. I just need my current truck to get me by safely.
I am going to weigh my rear axle next time I am loaded. Then I will know.
FWIW I am adding a pro comp add a leaf kit this next weekend to add 2" of rear lift and help level the load. This kit has 2 longer leaf's for each side. Shouldn't hurt unloaded ride too much.

IMO, it's not worth the constant effort of keeping the weight in check if you are close to maximums. I started with 18" wheels on my F250 and was able to to keep under tire limits by packing selectively, but started enjoying TC camping much more when I went 19.5's and no longer worried whether I had 300 lbs more with me than a previous trip.

if you only have 10 gallons of water and not the full 30 gallons you save OVER 160 pounds, not 80 pounds as mentioned eariler.
figure a gallon of water weights nearly 8 1/2 pounds.
