So I built a fold up platform for sleeping.
My skills are not as good as most on this forum, but I think this will serve my purposes it can fold down for sleeping then fold up so that I have full use of the back when needed.
Also switched to my newer set of tires.
Will keep the old set as spares for now.
New set rides noticeably better. Maybe they are just balanced better. They still have the nipples on them so I am guessing they were never run or maybe very little.

Yes 8x6.5. Completely stock not re centered.
I went with them vs swapping out my dually front hubs for SRW ones.
I could not find wide dually rims and these have enough back spacing to run with the dually hubs.
I haven't really run them long enough to say if it is the best solution for me. So far they are working out well. They are really heavy so I worry about excessive wear on my front end parts.

Somebody please stop me if this is a bad idea!!!.
I'm thinking about cutting through the spare tire compartment and putting a small window AC in it. I am trying to avoid a roof top unit. The fact that it will be low in the inside may be bad. I don't know.
Someone in another thread mentioned a window unit in a van.
I figure I can open the door when I run it or put vents in the compartment door. I can remove it during the winter.
Any reason that it would be a bad idea???
I need to cool the box for summer camping.

Don't know if it helps at all but I've noticed some small window type A/C units in new model 5th wheel campers this year. First time I've seen it from the factory. In every case though they've been mounted high, which makes sense since cold air falls. I think if you mount it down there you're liable to just end up with some cold feet.
You will want to plenum the intake or exhaust from up high, or add a fan to keep the air stirred up, but down low is common on ultralite rigs--popups, teardrops, etc.
I think it is a fair trade for the lower COG and roof height. No way would I put a roof air on a 4wd, just asking for trouble.
You can get super-efficient window units these days that run from the little Honda genny just fine.
Make sure you understand how the outside fan cycles air (usually pulls from a side and pushes out the front or vice-versa) and set up your vents and spacing accordingly. If you don't, the box will heat up to the point you won't be making cool air. Some end up adding booster fans to vent the box if they screw up, or mounting the unit on a slider so it pushes out in use.
