Decided to traded in a purchased a 2008 3500 Dually 4x4 6.7 Dsl quad long bed...wow! what a difference. In my opinion if you are border line on towing wgt, traded up...of course if the bgt allows.
With the #'s Ran and others on here are telling of there pin and rear axle weights, we all are not talking apples to apples. All I know is the big KZ's (41 to 43 feet long) have alot of pin weight, as I'm sure the big Weekend Warriors do to. WAY to much for any single rear wheel truck stock. Yes Rickerson's and a set of larger calipers, rotors and airbags would do the trick just not a stock truck.
08 F-450 Red Lariat 08 KZ Inferno 3912 - 24k Superglide with under bed rails sitting in garage not going to be used, what a shame.
