19.5" tires all around, I've weighed it (6000lb front axle, 8600 rear)
and the tires on there are rated for plenty more (another 2000+ front
axle, 7400+ rear).

Tanks are a bit limited so far (60gal fresh, dual 40 gray/black) but
there's a ton more room under there and I'm having a combo black/gray
100gal added on to take the input from both factory tanks once...in
other words, I won't be pulling the existing tanks or messing with the
plumbing, instead I'll put a macerator pump on the stock output and run
"garden hose" to the input of the secondary tank. The existing tank
outlet is recessed enough (and behind a locked door) to allow leaving
the macerator pump on at all times.

I'll add a 100gal fresh as well.
