5’ handle pull about 100 lbs you get 500 lbs ft of torque adjust as necessary 😊

No expert here but I have seen tire guys use large tire hammers to dislarge tires from rims and that could cause a fracture then the pressure of tire could cause a split or crack in the rim. I Would deflate it immediately.

Glad no one was injured. It appears to be faulty welds. Was the tow hitch home made? By the looks of the ball mount it looks home made. When traveling down the highway hundreds of miles I wouldn’t trust anything homemade unless welded by a journeyman or certified welder. Just my 2 cents.

Hello Woody, I am not an expert but I see some people upgrading to a 315/80r22.5 because of the higher load range but if you go to that tire you will need to use the 9” wide wheel the 81/4” wheel works for the 295/80r22.5 tire. But you will have to see if you have enough clearance on the body and suspension especially when turning lock to lock. About your wheels sometimes they are clear coated and they can chip and get oxidation then they need to be stripped and polished then you can keep up with the polishing. But if you have more money than time you can get new ones. Good luck.
