This has been a very educational thread for all....I hope. I do agree Art that if you want to increase payload capacity on the present truck it would be cost effective to do a spring ungrade.

I learned something today..it was a good day

2sinks said "As far as stability goes in my opinion the lwb drw wins hands down.The weight is distributed more evenly over a larger platform.The drw rear differential is wider than the srw differential due to longer spindles/hubs to support the dual rear wheels.I've had several apart and there is no mistaking the longer spindle/hub used on the drw differential.Also if you pull your front wheels off you'll notice hub extensions for extra weight distribution to the outside rather than inside as on the srw.This extension is also used to accomadate the wheel offset of the dual type wheel application"
