Anyone remember the member who bought the pretty giant host and had a 250 and took long trip to pick it up? He got a lot of good advice (similar to the above) but was already committed to it and rolled with it. The reason I mention him is that he was very open and knew what he was getting into, and he followed up and filled us in on how it went and provided a pretty good perspective on it both beforehand and afterward. It would be a good thread for reference to the OP.
I carry a Host Mammoth on a 2001 F250.. The truck has been modded, the best thing I ever did was ditch the 16"/load range E tires and rims for 19.5" rims and load range G tires. Lots of the problems with weight is due to tire squirm - that's the fact that NO load range E tire has steel belts in the sidewalls of the tires, just in the tread area.
Yes, it has air bags, rear sway bar, bilstein hd shock, I went and purchased stable loads. Runs great, tires are still cold to the touch after several hundred miles at 65+ on the Interstate.
I am still waiting for the earth to open up and swallow me and the truck, for the fire and brimstones to start falling from the sky, and CHP to put out an APB when I take to the streets with this combo..
BTW, I'm below the tire, the rim, and the axle weight limits which is all that I am concerned about.
