A SRW is always going to have a better ride than a DRW, do you really need a dually?

My 15 RAM Dually with factory rear air ride with the rear tires at 35psi rode as good or better than a friends 3500 GMC SRW short bed.
Loaded and unloaded the truck rides GREAT!!!
Sounds like you changed your position on the ride quality...
OP,
Depending on your wife's back issue I would seriously consider a Motorhome. If anything you can get up and walk around. We have a Dodge DRW 07 model and that rides terrible and has been retired as a daily driver (because of the ride)to pulls a cattle trailer ever now and then. We even put a Ranch Hand front bumper on it to help with the ride.
I don't know why your Dodge Dually rides so bad, I've owned 2007 and 2009 Dodge Duallys and I thought the ride was pretty good for Dually pickups, and both were setup to haul a 5000 lb slide in camper. The 2013 Chevy 2500HD I had before my current truck in signature rode harsher than the Dodge Duallys. Some of that was due to having to run no less than 60psi in the rear tires when the truck was empty because of the TPMS. My current Chevy Dually rides great for what it is. No TPMS on it enables me to run 40 psi in the rear duals empty.

I'll vote with the seat part of equation. THAT is the key to having back issues. Or not shall we say.
I've driven my navistar for 8+ hours with no issues. Drive my base level reg cab pickup with less gvwr than GFAWR of navistar, I need 6 tablets of ibuprofen at the end of the day, and a trip to chiropractor! Even my spouses ML320 is worst than Navistar. Altho the MB Sprinter at work, not sure how positive to say it is from a seat comfort level. Been in it 12 hours and 450 miles in a day, still feeling good at the end!
ALtho I do admit, some rigs suspension is worst than others from a bounce standpoint. BUT, seats are the key. They fit, or they do not fit ones butt!
