No pics needed. As identified earlier, a big part of the issue is, you’re running those little tires to death IMO. Combined with either some bad luck, bad roads or cheap tires.
You have a repeatable problem it seems so I’d expect to have to change something to achieve different results.

My 2002 dually came stock with 235/85/16 which care 3042 lb versus
the 215/85/16 which is a little over 2600 lb. I
am always told when looking for tires I have the wrong
size on my truck but my door sticker says different.
235'may give you more capacity and will still fit. Just a thought.

I'll give serious thought to increasing the size to a 235. I did that once but was concerned it lessen the space between the duals,and I believe the small space now is causing excessive heat. Also wonder about clearance issues on the front..... Thanks

Put Michelin or Bridgestone/Firestone tires on your truck. My 2015 GMC 3500 dually has a AF 990 that weighs 4500+ lbs and my original Michelins will go 50k miles easily.

You can use dodge rims. Look at the offsets. There’s dually wheels that fit 235/245 width tires just fine If the old GM rims are too narrow. Or not enough offset.
