My dually is more stable than my SRW trucks.
Is it the out rigger effect or is it stiffer sidewalls? Does it matter? From the drivers seat I can feel a noticeable difference.
My dually also has more braking power, it certainly stops my trailer much faster the my SRW trucks. Again this is determined from the drivers seat not from the text book.
Funny as if you look at the actual part numbers for the DRW and SRW breaks guess what?
They are the same.
So much for "seat of the pants" theories... :)
Enjoy your DRW, for whatever reasons you have.

your forgetting a few things, there is twice as much rubber touching the ground in the back so twice as much friction against the road.
in your previous post about spring mounts being narrower vs side walls if that was all that was inolved you would be right but DRW also have a heavier spring pack so theres that also you forgot about..
I have a SRW myself but there are times I wish I bought a DRW just for the higher load carring capacity.
