SRW or DRW?
Considering tc that weighs roughly 3800 dry. Would a 1 ton single rear axle be okay or do I need to look at double axle only. Please, no truck brand wars. Stick to axles. Thanks.

The rear of most trucks weigh around 3000 lbs. Adding almost 4000 lbs dry weight puts you at the tire/rim limits of most stock SRW trucks. If you already own a reliable SRW, it may be worthwhile to upgrade the wheels to 19.5" and keep the the truck. If you need to buy a truck, you will be better off with a DRW which will give you more TC options and more stock weight capacity.
You will be over GVWR on any SRW with that load, but will be within capacity of the axles if you make wheel and suspension upgrades.
