Recently I upgraded to 19.5 wheels/tires and have been thinking it's time to upgrade my old (1986)camper. So wondering how much weight others feel they can safely carry on their rigs rear axle for comparison purposes for those who wish to share.
Here is the Poll question: How much weight are you carrying on rear axle of your truck fully loaded with camper, water, gas, propane & any tows? Specify your configuration with the weight.
Here is my answer in bold to the poll with my current truck/tires, no tow for me.
99 F350 V10 SRW 2WD 245/70/19.5F, rear axle weight: 6980 lbs

My 2005 4wd F250 carried around 7000 lbs on the rear with only the camper and 8000 lbs with the camper and trailer. I ran 245/70r19.5 tires on Vision rims. I'm not sure if your truck runs the same a Sterling 10.5" axle or the older Sterling 10.25".

Just curious here.. I know the OP recently put on much heavier (in weight) Vision 81's and 19.5 tires. That does increase the scale weight for sure, but I am thinking it has not changed the amount of weight bearing down on the axle at all.
What is carried by the axle is the same whether the heavier (in weight) tires and wheels are on or off the vehicle.
Agree... or disagree?
