To gain carrying capacity and stability under load I'm looking at upgrading the tire/wheels on my 2002 F350 4X4, has anyone had any experience with Rickson 19.5s?? any info pro or con or any suggestions would be appreciated

Absolutely. Running them on my truck now. Great towing my 5er, excellent wear and the Rickson team is awesome to deal with.

Thanks for the quick reply, did you go with the aluminum or steel and did you get the tires supplied and mounted by Rickson?

I went with the aluminum and since I live not too far from them, I had them do the mounting, balancing, etc. Met Dan up there on a Saturday morning and the two of us mounted them up. Not that i've seen it mentioned anywhere on the forum before, but Rickson has some pretty good methods and equipment to balance those big wheels and tires. He does most of the wreckers in the area along with alot of other bigger rigs. At 75mph on the freeway I track straight as an arrow with no shimmy, wobbles, anything.

A friend of mine has the steel Rickson's, he tows a 5er alot, and loves the wheels.

I have the aluminun rims on my truck. It was the best thing I did to my truck so far. Highly recomend them.
