srw or drw

[b.ferrara]

anyone willing to give me advice on whether or not to get drw

instead of srw on a 3500 lwb & 6spd & 373's thank you in advance. Right now running a 90' 5spd & 410's totally stock,

except for the dual stacks. 215k & still running strong. Anybody

know if big difference in mpg.

Unless you have a specific need for DRW, I would go SRW. Makes life a lot simpler. I went with duals because the new fiver is going to be heavy on the pin as well as improved stability when towing a heavy fiver. Cheers, Casey

Towing 5th wheels,or goosenecks with over 2000 lbs of pin weight,a slide in camper,or a long travel trailer,where stablity may be an issue,if any of these are in your plans go DRW,otherwise the singles will be fine.

Snowman thanks for the advice: thinking of trading in my 30'

for a 39' travel trailer. Maybe just make the wife happy and

get the drw.

Hey b, i just looked at your location,you only live 15 miles or so from me. If your going with the 39,id get the dually,no doubt about it,a semi passing or cross wind with a 39 fter will be a white knuckle experience with a SRW.

hey snow man funny, i never had location on my profile until I saw yours. When I saw n. y. i figured out how to put it on.

anyway I run a 90' with 3" stacks gray in color. probably going

to go w/drw make my wife happy bigger is better.
