Will it hold?
Quick question:
I have an '04 F350 KR w/ 6.0L, FX4 package, long bed, etc, etc, etc. I need to transport 44 boxes that weigh 50 lbs each (batteries) across town.
Will my truck hold it?

I did a quick search on the web (keep in mind the internet sometimes lies) but the payload for a CC4x4 6.0 was 4000lbs that's in the bed payload.
If this will help you at all I took 2200lbs of shingles a few weeks ago and it was no trouble at all that came in at around 2200Lbs 37 bundles. I say go for it but drive like you have a ton in the back and you will have no troubles.
Good luck

E Rated? Dunno...I upgraded 'em to BFG AT's when I bought it (the stock ones looked wimpy 
)
Stopping distance? Not a problem there...I pull my boat and tractor often and give lots of room by habit.
I spoke w/ my mechanic (from the dealer) and he agreed that it should be no problem.

"D" load range tires are 8 ply and are usually rated for 2,500-3,000lbs per tire at 65psi. "E" load range tires are 10 ply and are usually rated for 3,000-3,500lbs per tire at 80psi. The max load varies tire to tire. As long as you have "D"s or "E"s and have the tires inflated enough for a 10,000lb load.
Just through the question out because I know folks that buy the cheapest tires they can find without consideration for what they want to do with their vehicle. They're the type that would try to haul a 10,000 load on retreads with 35psi in the tires and then scratch their head when the tire failed or turned the corner and broke the bead.

Actually, the BFG's for load, were a down grade from the E rated tires that came on your truck. (And I love BFG's, so don't go there. I'm not aware of an E rated BFG.) But, you're still well within the rating of those tires and payload of the truck. It won't even be like towing your boat. Maybe a little lighter on the steering wheel and a bit of pitch forward and down when you hit the brakes, (that's a lot more than what boat or trailer tongue weight would feel like), but well within what the truck can handle. It'll actually haul more than twice that weight in the bed. Be sure to distribute the payload well. Evenly across the bed, and if the last row of batteries is only a partial row, put them forward. Not in the farthest rear part.
