Re: Towing and 22" wheels
Works fine for me. Actually with my 20's it handles much better than with the stock 18's.

Re: Towing and 22" wheels
I also have 20"s on my truck and tow a 6x10 trailer all the time with dirtbikes, quads etc. No problems here. I have the BFG 285/55/20 and have a load range of "D" I beleive. Once I had 4 dirtbikes in my trailer, all the gear, and my Quad in the back of my truck and it was fine. It's personally up to you but IMO I would get the 20"s just because you get more rubber with them. And if you are towing a dirtbikes and stuff you are probally going up into some rocky dirt roads, so I think it is better to have a little more meat, then rim.

**Sorry for the thread jack**
Yes I am. Wow that is pretty cool. Are you still racing now? I started in 2003, and have been a member since, but due to some injuries last year (2005 season) couldn't finish the season, and will be out for this season (2006), but will start back up again in 2007 when I heal all up and am back to 100%. How about you?

Re: Towing and 22" wheels
Just make sure the load rating of the wheels is sufficient. I wouldn't get anything with a rating less than the stock wheel, and I'd try to get a rim with a rating such that when doubled (2 rim out back) it exceeds the rear GAWR.
