My Bil drove a dually for awhile until he couldn't stand the bone jarring ride. That truck has been put on tow duty only and set's most of the time with a cattle trailer hooked to it.
You always talk about "the bone jarring rides" of a dually. Don't know what truck yet another one of your kin drove, but he must have compared the dually To the ride of a Cadillac....I nor my wife have EVER experienced a "bone jarring ride" in either the Chevy or Dodge/Ram dually's we've owned over the last 11 years.. If your BIL had a Dually, no matter the brand, that caused a "bone jarring ride" when he drove it, something was wrong with his truck or it was old, whatever the reason, in the dually's I've driven since early 05', we've never experienced the kind of drive you've alluded to.
Most who purchase a 1 ton dually KNOW its not going to ride like the family SUV or sedan...They, more than likely purchased the truck due to the fact that they purchased a longer, heavier TH Or 5er, and the only way they could tow it safely was with that 1 ton dually, be it FORD, GM/Chevy or Ram. It's a trade off for wanting to upgrade sometimes to a heavier RV.
The ride the wife and I have experience in the loaded out Chevy's and Rams we've owned have always delivered a nice comfortable ride and the main positive is we have more than enough truck to safely tow our TH, AND AS A 4 wheel drive long bed crew cab dually, carries all we need to tote around and got me safely to and from work yesterday on non treated roads and highways yesterday morning with isome ice and anywhere from 4 to 7" of snow and never jarred the first bone that I'm aware of, but at 65, maybe I just know what a good drive is:)
