The only discussion Travelnutz & I had on this topic is that he straightened me out on the rear disc sizes before Paul Clancy posted his comments.
.... Interesting to note that nuts and kd communicate privately - then take their discussion to the OPs thread for a peeing match - without *ALL* the (actual weight) facts...:R

IMHO 1500# or so over GVWR is beyond "pushing it a little".
My mental, unscientific and totally personal opinion is that up to 500# over GVWR is no big deal - beyond that it really needs another look.
YMMV.
Hey OP:
Post your actual weights and settle this 'at ratings' or 'over'
Post your actual weights and settle and the 'at RANTINGS' will be 'over' - at least until next time..:(
Or - "they" can say, "See, told you so!"

OK, good to know. Thanks for the clarification.
The dually rears are larger. SRW 3500 and 2500 the same.
Does that still apply for the 2012/13/14 model years? Thought I read somewhere even the SRW 3500 has larger brakes than the 2500.
Same in the parts catalogs I look at.kaydeejay wrote:
