The 2 WD is alot shorter truck. I had a 2500, had alot of problems with the front end.
That's strange - I've never had a front end problem with my 1996, 2002 and 2011 Ram 3500 duallies - all were/are 4x2 trucks.

3500 is more heavy duty, you will lose 10K pulling power with an auto tranny.
I don't know where you're getting your information, but the maximum GCWRs with the Ram are achieved with the 6 speed automatic transmissions. Those trucks with the G56 manual have derated engines and lower GCWRs as compared to the automatics (68RFE and Aisin AS69RC).
