Default 20" wheels

I just put some 20" wheels on my truck that I found fairly cheap used they are almost the same height as the 285 and factory wheels the truck came with when I got it within an inch but much hevier.
my question is will it be okay to tow my 7000lbs. gooseneck trailer with another 5-7k lbs. of cargo with the 20s or should I just put the originals back on.
btw my truck is completley stock.

Good point never even thought about that , I was so concerned about the tranny and what not that I forgot about one of the most important things
I will look into it tomorrow more than likely that will answer my question.
thanks Prison
