Toroflow, are those tires 40" tall or taller? How much lift do you have?

12" lift (all spring in rear, no block) and 42" Swampers, duals in the rear, so the thing is stable as h*ll!!! Figure that to fit 15" wide rear tires the offsets on the rims (custom 16.5"x9.75"s) have to be pretty wild, thus making the track width wider in the rear (106"!! Whoops!! Sorry California Highway Patrol!!!
 ) This rigs also tows fantastic, as you don't even know anything is back there!! I tow an 8500 pound boat, and when I do tow the boat with one of my Suburbans, it pushes me around quite a bit. Not so with this dually. The 5.13 gears help also.

What's your GVWR? Is your lift kit stiffer than stock, so it might handle the weight better than stock? Last question; (I hope I'm not annoying you ) What kinda tire pressures do you run, like on the street empty, on the street loaded and unloaded offroad? You've got one "*****in' barge" Toroflow!

stock GVW is rated at 10,000....the rear springs seem like they could handle 20,000 though!! They have 11 leafs in each of the packs. The fronts are standard Superlift brand 12"ers. I had just removed some 10" Superlifts that had been on there for 13 years (5 years with camper) and they had not sagged in the lease, as the new 12"ers raised the truck "only" another 2". I run 28 pounds of air in the tires at all times, and they are wearing well, as I have about 20,000 miles on them (42" Super Swampers) and they have about 1/2 tread remaining. I do not lower the tire pressure in the sand (when I go to Pismo Beach, CA) due to it not being necessary (front and rear Detroit Lockers).
And the barge is neat, but the twin 454s it sports kinda eats you alive in fuel if I run it alot!!!
