Have not tested for leaks, plan on doing that tomorrow and mounting tanks under trailer.
 
Testing tanks for leaks this week.
Just need to add the drain & vent fittings. Tanks fit nicely under trailer and don't hang down below lowest point of trailer.

Can't wait to weigh that thing loaded down!
 
But its al-u-min-e-um!
 
Sorry, that's true.

I remember when Tom Pennington did that to his Dodge. He had a HUGE Lance camper setup on a single wheel truck and the tires really upped his load rating on that truck. I never have done the math on it, but I remember he did.
 
Won't 19.5s have a higher load rating than 20s in most cases, since the 19.5s are primarily found on larger than one-ton vehicles?

22.5s would require adapters or high dollar rims, correct?

Correct answer from the engineer. 19.5" tires will have higher weight capacity tires than any even numbered sized rims. Ride quality unloaded will suck, but you'll get over 100K miles on a set of tires.
 
I think 22.5's and 19.5's require high $ rims and the tires are stupid expensive too.

Not if you find some 19.5 take-offs from a F450. Granted, these I have found are dually, and I'll doubt you'll find SRW rims.

Gotta get a dually, JRob!
