I was running 285/75/16 BFG AT's on my 03 1500 with 28psi. Great ride and long lasting tire. They were 10 ply but with the rite tire pressure, almost any tire can ride good.

Yep, I sure do. I have the Nitto Terra Grapplers in 285/65/18 in 10 ply. Stay far away. Rides like a hay wagon now. Looking around just like you for 6 plys but no luck.
