Don't the RAM 3500s have a AAM 10.5 rear axle that is rated for a little over 10k rating? Also he said he had the factory rear air suspension which is the exact same suspension you get in a DRW if you order it. So basically same rear suspension as a dually with the air and plenty of axle rating rated by the axle mfg. I'd look for some 19.5s.
I know that to be true up though the 3G models, but after that I am not sure since DC (or whatever the parent company is now) is changing around their supposedly "heavy duty" pick-up line.
12V, yes you’re referring to the 11.50” axle and yes 10klbs which is the same 2500/3500/dually axle GM and Ram have both used for about 15 years now. Except ram upped the newer 4th gen dually to an 11.8” ring gear.
Yes suspension is the same for air assist as well between srw and dually. Literally the only difference is 2 tires and a wider rear track width.
That’s why these discussions become so inane, because the weight cops refuse to acknowledge these types of things.
