If you have any more axle weight than 6800, i'd be upgrading to 16" wheels and going that route. The LT, C rated tire i have is only rated for 1985 lbs per tire, so you'd want a little more tire if you're over.

If i had only 3 tires, it would max my tires out on capacity with 5900 axle weight. But i have 4, and i think i'll be good. You see, you don't figure in the pin weight as it's riding on the truck tires.
Yeah I have a TT, will have to get it weighed when loaded to get an actual weight. Got a trip to DC this month, 410 miles one way and gonna have tires on the mind for the whole trip.
