Being basically cheap I am looking for a way to create the load carry
potential of a dually with your basic one ton truck. Having had
dually's in the past, I really don't want one to drive around all the
time. I have a 7.3 diesel F250 Super Duty with 1 ton suspension.
Occasionally I would like to carry a multicar trailer. I am looking at
upgrading my 38' goose neck 2 axle trailer to a 48' 3 axle . The
addition tongue weight may create a tire problem for the truck. I run
10 ply 245-75-16 tires on 16 x 6? or 7" wheels. Have never measure the
width of these particular wheels. The truck has leaf springs with
overloads and an air bag leveling set up.
Wondering if I replace the rear wheels with wider wheels and tires or
possible wider with higher ply tires I could get the dually carrying
capacity? I cant seem to find heaver ply tires.
Have checked around here and everyone tells me to by a bigger truck.
