Actually, I don't believe this statement is correct. You will actually have
*more* traction in the rear because the weight of the truck is now resting
on 4 rear tires, not 8. Those 300 puonds won't matter too much, since you
now have about 1500+ lbs of weight on each of the 4 rear tires, as opposed
to 750+ lbs on each tire of a truck that is equipped with duals.
