Joe ,
The new tires are 265/70/18E the weight rating is 2601 each tire.
That't one of the problems with the truck bed being too high.
I must be missing something? Rear axle empty (with hitch) carries more than 3,000 pounds. Add 4,000 pin weight and it seems the tire limits are exceeded by 1,000 pounds per tire. A custom bed will make it worse.
