My bfgs were load range D and they were pretty good off road for a truck. I can run D on my ram but I feel safer runnin E's plus towing 10k+ isnt safe on a range D

This is what I was looking for. Ever so subtle difference.

The cragar soft 8's are steel and $50 a corner. The stock 15x8 aluminums are 21 pounds a piece, 16x8 are 25, 265/70-16 are 44 pounds, 24.5" slicks are 20. So if I go from a 25/44 rotating weight to a 21/20, that's a 28 pound weight difference per corner. That adds up fast.
