about to lift so i'm reading threads all night for 08 2500hd allison but debating on running 20'z on 35's or goning to 22'z on 35s or 37s? wondering if i tow toyhauler once a month are the 22s on 37s too much weight and wear and tear especially towing

Depends on the rating of the tire and the load that you are pulling. If you are towing over 8k pounds go with an E rated tire like the Toyo 37in MT tire. Although your ride is probably going to suck because such a small sidewall and the 10 ply tires don't flex much at all.
Good Luck. :)

My 22's are rated for more weight (3600-3800 somewhere in there) than the stock wheels and the 37" toyo's on the 22's have a lil' more side wall than the stock tires did on the 17's. I don't see a problem.

You're fine to tow a building. Just do it! I have these tires on all my trucks. (3) right now. They're my favorite all around quality/ good looking tire. Great on rough terrain as well!

as long as tire and wheel are rated for your weight, you are fine. wheels have a weight rating also, so check that out. but i do think 8-lug wheels should be rated for what you want.

Umm, what's to explain? Tire weight rating is on the side of the tire and wheel weight rating should be on the inside of the wheel. ;)
