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.

Several ways to get around that limitation. One is to replace the stock 3195 tires with 3750 (Nitto or Toyo) rated tires to gain 1100 lbs. more load capacity at the rear axle. I did this and it cost me $500 out of pocket as I sold the factory tires on Craiglist. 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.
A set four 19.5" rims and tires can be found for around $2000. There are drawbacks to using this setup: Heavier unsuspended weight, Poorer performance in loose sand and snow, Harsher unloaded ride.
