Kit to shorten dually into SRW?

I remember reading about one, or maybe it was to ADD a rear wheel to a SRW, was wondering if there was one or if I would have to hunt an axle down that was srw?

Not sure about it, since the truck is going to be more of a city driver not much towing other than 4,500 pounds when i buy challengers and have to move them.

oh, reason I post this is I am looking at a 93 dodge for a 2nd ride and it was a good price but a dually, and I dont know I just dislike dually?

For the front you can just buy SRW front rotors. Is the truck a Cab & chassis or did it come with a pick up box? If it was a cab & chassis change the wheel studs in the rear hubs to the 9/16 and you should be good to go. If it came with a box the axle is wider than a SRW axle and the tires may rub on the wheel opening of the box.

Your best bet may be to post a classified ad and find someone close wanting to upgrade their 3/4 ton. You may be able to swap rear axle, bed, and front rotors.
