I want super singles tucked under the SRW fenders instead of a dually. Going to be a bit narrower between the wheel wells and that is fine by me.
What would that do for you over a 3500 SRW with 18's that have a lot of carrying capacity ?
Super singles you could get tires in the 5000+ lbs relm. But reality is, not a big deal unless you have a 10-20k RA capacity. The other SS do, is give you more tire width, for a higher capacity DOT load. As you need 20" of tire(s) per corner to get your max 20k per axle. With the typical 10" tire width of a SW truck, you only have 10k of wieght you can put in that axle. Even if the sum of the parts are over 10k lbs per DOT FBL specs.
The lr e 18's I have on my truck are good to 4000-4500 lbs per. On par or greater than some of the 35 DW rigs I've owned. Per FBL specs, I get 5500 or 11000 lbs on the RA. Not that I'm going to recommend this mind you.
I would prefer SS on my Navistar vs the 4 225-70-19.5 tires I have.
