Tires, lift, etc. for dually work truck

[Diamondpilot]

We've had this discussion a number of times. I needed a multipurpose truck, I can't yet afford one for every use. I wanted the dually for stability and payload capacity in a Crew Cab, 4x4, configuration. Per spec my "rated" payload capacity is about 1,000 lbs more than the same truck in SRW.

Just the little load of pallet rack I picked up, with what I had in the cab, approached the rated payload capacity of the SRW configuration.

It may be called a 1 ton but it's rated at about 4,240 lbs payload capacity.
The reason I want the lift is ground clearance, not looks.

Thanks for the pointers the on the tires and on 5th wheels - I don't have a 5th wheel YET so had not thought about that aspect.

My 06 F350 SRW has a max gvwr of 11,500# and weighs 7,600# with fuel, my junk, and me in it. That leaves a honest 3,900# or two tons of payload capacity.

You just have to know how to order them.
