Thank you both for your input and yes I understand the DRW would be the best/safest way to go.

But if I run airbags and go to G rated tires on the 2500 Mega, other than some sway from the coil springs would that still be unsafe?

The SRW 2500 has the same Axles, brakes, motor & tranny as the SRW 3500 and the 3500 has E rated tires. So other than some possible sway in heavy wind, why would the 2500 with bags and G rated tires not be as safe as the 3500 SRW?

My whole point here is I don't want to drive a buck board everyday for work and I'm only going to tow the trailer 6-8 times a year and a small trailer will not work for us.

We've stated more than several times, with facts from airbag manufacturers, that airbags WILL NOT help add payload....only levels the load..

Dually in my sig is a loaded out Longhorn...I'm engulfed in luxury....A dually has been my daily driver for over 10 years now and doesn't ride like a buckboard., I HAVE to have the dually IF I want the 5ers I've towed over the last 10 yrs, ie, the right truck for the job...New 5er in my sig has a GVW of 20,000#, and this truck will easily handle it without "adding" anything to it..Your 2500 has a GVW of10,000#, mine is 14,000#, with a GCWR of 37,500#.. huge difference.

G rated tires don't add GCWR...You're looking for justification to overload the 2500...I can't, in good conscience, tell you that it is ok....or safe...BUT, your choice, truck and most important, your family

You've already made up your mind to tow a TH with GVW of 19000-21000# with a 2500 Megacab. I't isn't a very good idea, but I don't think that really matters to you...drive safely and keep us posted,
