I beg to differ in the case where you maintain full inflation
pressures as you would for the highway. That is 60-65 in the 1100x20's.

I have 11.00x20's duallys on my deuce without inverting any hubs, a
6000 LB shelter in the bed, and no problems whatsoever.

There is 1" clearance between them at the bottom, and 1.25" at the
top. Some people say they will rub. I never have this problem.
9.00x20's will have 1.75" clearance at the top.

Of course if you deflate the tires for mud or sand you might have
issues, but I never do that and the truck goes through mild offroad
exercises ok.

This page describes exactly what the setup is and has pictures.

I enjoy the extra 5MPH or so I can get as well.
