Choosing 2wd or 4wd and Other Options

[RThompson]

Just took deliver on a 2wd SB. Had to order it due to lack of 2wds available. Bought the truck without the camper package to help smooth out ride. If needed I will use air lifts. Just took out the 1" rear spring blocks and the driveline angle stays within specs. I plan on pulling a 8-9K 5th wheel and don't anticapate any suspension problems. Ordered with limited slip differential and 3. 54 ratio. Just installed Husky 16K sliding hitch. Fits in the garage and in parking stalls. Would I do the same thing again? Time will tell, I have had 4X4 vehicles for 25 yrs and this is going to be an adjustment. Then again never owned a Dodge before and that is going to take some time getting used to.

Sounds like you have a really nice truck. You should have really good performance with the HO and light weight you have.



I was very close to getting a 4x2 for all the reasons discussed, but finally decided that I wanted the security of the 4x4. If I lived in the south, I think that I would have gotten the 4x2.
