Purchasing a 2025 2500 6.4 hemi....

i have 35x11.5r20 (295/65r20 pretty much) on my 1500 currently with only 10k miles on them and want to put them on my new 2500, Now i know from research on here i can fit them on the truck stock with no modification/lift/level no problem but... is that tire ok or safe for the truck? Never owned a HD truck so im not sure if i need to go bigger or what. Heaviest i tow with boat/trailer is almost 6000ibs (not including passengers/gear/gas cans, so lets just way overshoot it by alot and say 7500ibs is the heaviest ill ever tow, hence the upgrade to a 2500). Just want to make sure they are good enough and safe as i travel sometimes 3 hours to the river.
they are Toyo OC AT3s. pasted the info below with a screen shot

You will have to look at the weight rating on the tire, and compare it to what the 2500 requires. Most tire you should be fine but never hurts to double check.

By 50lbs, My 3500 is 7k for the rear. I used to have 17in wheels and 35s but when i went to get 3 peak tires NON made the weight requirement. I had to switch to 18in wheels it was a sad day.
 
Last question, swapping the stock 285/60r20 to my 35x11.5r20... Will i have to get new UCAs for them? Keep in mind i am not leveling or lifting it as i know these tires will fit stock with no issue from what i read here.

So the 2025 HD is saying it requires a 3638 not a 3525, so the dealer wont swap the tires for me. Think i should tell them kick rocks and just put them on somewhere else? or are they right?

Most real tire shops won't do it unless you sign a waiver and they won't warranty the tire or work. It's the problem is ran into and prefer to have discount tire road hazard warranty it's awesome.

Look at the door sticker. It will tell you the rear weight rating then divide that by 2 and your tires will need to be that min.
 
For the most headroom it seems 295/70-18 or 295/65-20 are both a load index of 129, which is north of 4000lbs.

The load index isn't really very useful. Look at the tire manufacturer's spec page for the tire and size you want. Make sure it can handle at least half of your axle weight rating and you're good to go.

Ill have to figure out what the axle weight rating is when it comes in as i can not find it on the internet nor do i have a VIN number created yet. But @H3LZSN1P3R is saying those tires should be able to handle my truck and what i tow with PLENTY enough to spare. (info is in my original firstt post)
