All of your "numbers" match. I suspect there's a chart to go with that illustration?

What do you want to do that the 19.5 can not? I would trade, before bas-tar-dizing your truck that still has a placard with RGAWR of 7K and GVWR of 11,700, and is not easy to resale. You will need a Mega Cab dually bed, right?

I agree with SNO. As an previous owner of a SRW that I swapped into a DRW, people will not buy it afterwards. I had to pony up money to change it back to OEM before it sold. I made my money back selling the DRW parts though.
