If you go with the 3500 dually 4x4 long bed, be ready to flip the axles. The SRW 3500 will be hard to find,up to a 6 month wait if you order it. The 2 WD is alot shorter truck. I had a 2500, had alot of problems with the front end. 3500 is more heavy duty, you will lose 10K pulling power with an auto tranny. I love my truck,Just my 2 cents.
OP is talking 2015 trucks....I have a 2013 3500 4X4 Ram Dually (same tailgate height as new models), and I didn't have to flip the axles on my 5er, nor have quite a few others that I'm aware of on this forum and others. Tailgates are higher and it can be a pain...but adjusting the hitch and pin box and as close to level as I've been in the last 10 yrs towing 5ers.
The newer Ram's, should the OP go that route, all have new front end suspensions...problem seems to be solved.
I don't understand your last statement that "you will lose 10,000# pulling power with an auto tranny:h " The auto tranny in the Ram truck has a higher tow rating over the manual...My truck with the Aisin auto 6 speed and the 4:10 has a GCWR of 37,500#....how did I lose 10,000#?
