    D was all they had /: not horrible but that's the only downside. I made sure to get the insurance policy so we are good.

    Jeez that's overkill. I got 6, c rated ply and they're heavy. I specifically researched and got tires in the desired size and load range. I'll never need or get load range e

    Anything over c is too much unless doing more offroad than street driving

    Only had E range, I know I will never need that much but its nice having that weight cushion. Plus I have a 100-130lb canopy and will be adding a 150lb RTT on top of it.

    Looks good though OP! Glad its coming together nicely

    You will be fine with d. I like e rated because I wheel a lot and have gouged the sidewalls of many tires. The km2s I am running now have a cut that is seriously 1/2" deep but because I have e rated, I have put about 3k highway miles on the tires and have run many trails without issue.
    All depends on what you plan to do. But I also wheel with dudes that won't put e tires on due to weight, and their tires do fine. I guess what I'm saying is you should have no regrets about what you got.

    D rated tires are even a little overkill for our trucks too. My friends dad had an f350 that he put D rated tires on and hauled a 10,500lb camper and didn't have any problems. You will be perfectly fine

    Alright took one of those construction beepers for when the vehicle is backing up. Hooked it up to a switch. Put it in my truck. A goofy mod for sure, but it puts a smile on people's face.

    Oh it's fantastically obnoxious. That's why I have a switch so I can use it only when I want to
