Dualy or no dualy?

well i was assuming you meant totally swapping it out, which would mean changing front hubs as well rear axle, etc... lots more than swapping rear wheels and a bed if you want to do it right.

First off I never do anything right. That is boring.

Only know dodge trucks well enough to say that the differences in em are only rear leaf springs, rear axle length, extra bolt in frame brace and bed flares. Once you remove the front wheel spacers the front end is identical in coil springs and even brakes. The main frame of the trucks are identical also.

I am wondering if scarface even cares about this at this point as I believe I am wearing my finger out for nothing. ;) On the good side though my finger print is disappearing and now I am hard to identify.

front wheel spacers? Dodges use spacers, not dually hubs?

Yeah, they are 3.5'' steel spacers. Some may think they are weak but they are sure simple.

so why are they the only of the big three to go this route? very odd.

Why do what the others do? Probably cheaper? I can not fit a dually where I need to go so I always order or have found a truck with the same springs, axle etc. as a dually. My finger is now finally worn down. Hurts a bit too!
