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.

Second option is to replace the factory rims and tires with 19.5 rims and 19.5 tires rated at 4400 lbs. per tire which will cost you about $3500. This will increase the payload up to over 5,000 lbs. but is expensive.
I just did this on my truck and didn't spend that much and I got 5 19.5's. I think I am about $3200 into 5 Vision Type 81's with Toyo M608z's in 245/70R19.5 LRG tires and counteract balance beads in all 5.
4500lbs a tire is nice, and even at 55-60 psi they are far more stable with a load that LRE's ever where with 80.. and they ride nicer.
