Best dual stage foam

Whats the best dual stage foam for J concepts 2.2 scorpios tires? The tire is 5.98 inches tall. Most of the dual stage foams I find are 5.5 inches. Is this acceptable for these tires?

The rig is still being built, and looking to get my wheels and tires at this time. Estimated weight on the truck alone will be somewhere around 15 pounds. There will also be a trailer used at times, adding an addition 20-30 pounds depending on the rig(s) on the trailer.

This is a custom Dually build, so 4 foams on the rear doesnt concern me for the weight when loaded. My biggest concern is the half inch difference in tire height vs foam height.
 
15+ Lbs? I'm not sure any dual stage will support that.

You might want single stage closed foams on something that heavy.

If the tire height difference is your only concern, I'd speculate that 1/2" difference would probably be fine. 5.98 is the outside diameter of the tires so the inside diameter is likely closer to 5.6-5.7 which is pretty close to 5.6 and they typically come with tuning rings that effectively add a little bit more to the outside diameter of the foams.
