    Twin boxes are on anything over a 16k steer. 16 and below use a single box

    I'd like to stay with a single box for simplicity. If everything pans out this truck will spend a fair amount of time on roads that get limited to 75% of legal weights in the muddy seasons so having some extra capacity up front might not be a bad idea.

    A lot will depend on trailer and fifth wheel settings and wheel base as to how much weight you will actually get up there. 11/24.5’s are good for like 15,300 for 18 ply. Over that you’ll need 12r or 315’s for tires. 315’s can go all the way to 20,000. If your area doesn’t require a certain square inch foot print

    I don't think it'll tow a trailer often. More than likely it'll be a straight truck.
