DRW back to SRW
Anybody changed from Dually to SRW? Why? Are you happy with your decision? What do you haul that made you want a dually? The new generation SRW trucks have payloads of 4000#+...this may be...

When we first purchased the camper, we drove home (1400 mi.) with just Timbrens. Handled fine. There was a slight amount of single-motion sway with each high wind gust--totally expected. Just to maximize safety and handling, we elected to replace the OEM tires with Michelin 295/70/18's (4080 lbs.) to get an additional 800 lbs. of tire capacity on each axle. We replaced the Timbrens with Air Lift 5k air bags (camper was heavier on one-side). Also installed a Roadmaster sway-bar and lower stabil-loads. Can't say any one mod all-by-itself made any dramatic improvement, but as a whole it has made the truck even more fun to drive with the camper on-board. Very little steering correction necessary---even in 25-30 mph side-winds (and gusts over 50 mph). No complaints---fun to drive.
This is the OP. Appreciate if we could stop handing out troll house cookies and get back on topic.
Anyone running one of the new SRW 1 tons with 4000#+ payload?
Would love some input based on real world experience.
Thx, bill
