Some pros: More weight carrying capacity (F-350's). More stability. Looks cool. Safer if you have a rear tire go flat, the other tire will help keep the truck controlled until you stop. Better flotation.

Some cons: Added cost of 2 more tires to upkeep. Have to carry 2 spares if your front doesn't use the offset rims too. Less traction. Increased odds of getting a flat.
