My buddy really likes his Valair, dual disc, organic clutch. Ceramic may be grabby, and not desirable while towing. The organic is a very soft engagement, but still holds the power.

I have only driven one truck with a dual disk clutch in it... I didn't really like the way it felt. It almost felt like it chattered and was really grabby. I'm assuming that's just how the duals are correct?

yeah duals grab every gear hard, i would go with Southbend Dual disc with billet input shaft. i have it on my trucka and works great. even some light sled pulling she holds up
