Won't happen. Load ratings are per tire. Wrangler MT/R 40x13.5 Load Range C for example 3195 x 2 = 6390lbs, plenty of load on the rear of the truck. Last time I was across the scales I only had 4620lbs on the rear axle while towing.
Maths are easy.

We'll see what you say once you actually tow with a C tire. A little squat is in unacceptable but squirmy C rated 40's are. This thread got retarded in a hurry.

The 40" Toyo's on a 24" wheel are load range E. And they would be all the rage at the starbucks drive through.

Beadlocks are almost as expensive as a gas cap. I might have to second mortgage my house.

Sorry haven't gone through the whole thread but there's a guy on YouTube who goes by IWrocker. He put one of the higher end 5" rough country lifts for a 2500 on his PW. He had a local shop fab it up to work on the PW. He's got 37s and It looks and performs awesome. You might check it out.
Dude was in the same boat.

This is not a lift but it's a pretty sensible set up imo.

6 ply tires towing is a very bad idea. Even if the load capacity is the same or better. Even a jump from 10 ply to 8 is hugely noticeable.
