i had an 06 3500 drw and had the big wheel kit with auto and some light mods and didnt have any problems. actually the DOT when i stopped at the scales said they were better for towing what i tow because of the weight rateings on em. i towed my telehandler with attachments on my 53' gooseneck and weighed in at 38,000lbs and had zero problems. If i still had a dually i would have em on it again in a heartbeat.It did change the ride just a bit though

I had 22.5's on my 06 and I really liked them. I couldn't put them on my 2010 because I had 3.73 gears on a auto. I wish I ordered a truck in with 4.10's so I could have used them.

I towed 38 to 42K all the time and I really liked the tires.
