Putting regular rims on Dually Front...

How hard is it to take off the front spacers so that I can put regualr size rims on the front of my dually? i like the looks of the normal rims much better? Anyone know if it is easy or hard? Thanks

How many people have done this? Does it negatively affect anything?

all u need is a 15/16" open end wrench and patience. takes a while 2 take the spacer nuts off. it will lighten the hub assy. so the suspention should b more responsive!

Hmmm, just the opposite....I installed a dually wheel backwards on the front of mine to make it home once (no spare). Yea, it looked insane and probably wasn't very safe but hey, I made it home.
