Not to mention if it squats less maybe the Po Po will leave you alone. Got pulled over hauling corn to town, cop said he pulled me over cause the one tire had a heck of a cheek on it. Turns out had a low tire.

i dont know fords or dodges, this is for GM only!!! there is a diff from 1t to 3/4 not only leaf spring on my 07's the 1 ton has a bigger tranny cooler yes the GVW is higher and there is 1 more crossmember under the box. as to the leafs 1ton to 3/4 ton differ from chevy to GMC
chevy 1 ton----6 thick leafs
chevt 3/4------5 thick leafs
GMC 1 ton----7 thin
GMC 3/4 ton--6 thin
as to my butt the GMC rides better
my last 3 chevys I bought new were 3500 SRW for the simple fact the license is $12/ mth vs 500-600 a yr on a new 3/4 to. as far as ride I don't think there is a difference but I have crew cab long boxes.
Mine will be the same set-up crew cab long bed, and I agree after test driving a few GMC & Chevy's there is minor if any ride difference between the two empty. The lic. thing is strange here.
I will still go on record of saying there is NO difference between the 2500 and 3500 SRW in terms of ride quality.
You do lose tire pressure monitoring on the 3500. In all honesty that is an awesome feature to lose. Sucks having a tow rig where you bring pressures up and down based on your load or being empty. When you drop tire pressures for no load, it will setoff the light on the 2500.
I tow a voltage 3990 Rv trailer, we tow it full of water and toys.. Either the 2500 or 3500 were desirable tow vehicle till we put the airbags under them.. Now they as smooth as one can dream.. We put it on the scale last week and front axle was 5600lbs, rear was 7800, and tri was 17900.. We used the 2500 and with bags it was level and handled load very well on the 15 Denali
Just set up a friends 2015 SRW 1 ton... with the Kelderman 2-Stage Rear Air Suspension. (NOT the 4 link).
The 2-Stage does not add additional capacity... but it did transform night/day the ride of the truck when empty... rides better than most SUV's out there.
He ordered it bare steel and had the local shop clean-up welds and powdercoat to a really high standard... I have the same unit on my 2500HD... and the pow coat from Kelderman went bad in one year.
We both went with the upgraded compressor and added a tank so we have onboard air.
The Kelderman 4-link systems are the best riding/loading setups I've seen...they DO add capacity and also have amazing ride quality... but have a premium price over the 2-stage rear setups. The auto level system works very nicely.

you have about 5500# of tounge weight with that load
if he has a crew cab duramax long box it will weigh about 7700# empty. so doing the math with the figures he gave, he ends up with about 5500# of tongue which seems like a lot to mei have never seen a 5th wheel with that much tongue. provide the specs on a standard 5th wheel to prove me wrong.
