2018 Ram 2500
Trying to figure out the towing capacity for 2018 Ram 2500 6.4 hemi with 3.73 axle short bed crew cab. We are looking into buying a 14000 lb fifth wheel. Has anyone pull this heavy of a fifth wheel w...
The other major advantage to the DRW is that almost all are extended wheelbase and the extra tires adds more side-to-side stability.
that's a wives tail also. the advantage of the extra set of tires is weight capacity nothing more. if you look at a 2014 f350 SRW and a DRW the shock mounts and Leaf mounts are in exactly the same places, infect I can bold a DRW axel directly to my existing leaf springs and shocks and just add a fender flair (for some reason ford uses the exact same box also and just adds a flair) so your pivot points are in the exact same place. the difference in stability when hauling comes 100% from the rating of the leave springs and the fact that the DRW comes with a sway bar. I can put the same leaf springs that a DRW has in my SRW and add the sway bar and if you didn't know it was a SRW you would not be able to tell the difference.
You’re half correct. Although the wider effective wheelbase and greater tire capacity at a wider width of a dually significantly reduces one of the 2 big components or body roll.
But you’re smart enough to to know that, no need to perjure yourself lol just to argue with Slackware…
Cheers!
