Afraid of things you don't know. Not to bash on ya, but guarantee that thing would tow better than your truck stock power. given the same mods, he would then blow your doors off towing and still get better mileage, why, lower to the ground, less air resistance. You know why it would tow better? Same reason, less air to get under the truck and cause drag as well as not as high up for a billboard. Plus as Bobby said, it will always ride level. Don't worry about the wheels, just worry about keeping up.

You wont hurt them wheels. You can get wheels that size rated higher then stockers.
