Yeah I ended up getting a G80 with my dually, but hunted down a 9.5" 14 bolt for my 1500 I'm the pull and pay that had 4.10s and a G80. The weights I spec'd were axle weight ratings, not vehicle weight ratings even though I typo'd and don't fully believe them myself. My rear axle weight rating in my dually is 7,500, but I believe the leaf pack holds it back as the chassis cab trucks had higher ratings with the same axle. I believe a single rear wheel truck would have been good for around 6,000# on the rear axle, tire limited in that instance IIRC.
My 95 auto 1500 that I used to have had a G80, and I can’t say I was super impressed with it. 237k on it when it got retired and it would only spin the second tire in a burnout one way. You had to shift it into 1st, lightly press the brake, stand in the gas, and then stand on the brake. Only after I stood on the brake to hold the truck still would it start spinning the second tire. And it only really worked on asphalt. In the dirt or mud it wouldn’t spin the second wheel no matter what you did. But taking off from red lights in the rain, even gently, it was happy to spin them both even when you least wanted it to [emoji849][emoji2369]
