DRW vs SRW ??
I've been flip floppin like a fish out of water. Don't have the FW yet but pretty sure it's going to be a 3750FL Bighorn (40' x 16,000 lb.) or something similar. We don't plan on running up and down t...

The op never said his pin weight was 4k. It's more likely to be 3k. And like I said, fully loaded and ready to travel, a SRW is close to 8500. So, considering the trucks GVWR is 11.5k or more, completely within spec. So, what I disagree with is everything you wrote.
Yea, 20% of 16,000 is what 3,200 lbs...okay, I was off by 800 lbs. Kudos for calling me out on that. For me and my family that means we would be putting 5,000-5,000 lbs on the truck by the time we are in the truck and stuff is in the bed. There is not many if any SRW made that can handle that kind of weight.
My recommendation for a Dually still stands.
If the OP can get a SRW with 4,000 lbs of payload and keep his hitch, gear, and people under 800 lbs combined then it's workable. Otherwise he may be looking at an overload situation.
Can it be done with a SRW? Yep,
I still recommend a Dually for this load.
Ymmv enjoy your rig you have a very nice one.
Thanks!
