I am gonna put a flatbed on the ol 3/4 ton and was wondering what was involved in makin my truck a dually?? I know this is kinda broad, I already have helper springs and may opt for airbags as well, how do the rims fit and what am I gonna have to do to make them fit??

Thanks Alot

Two ways to go (that I have seen). A few places sell conversion kits that have front and rear spaces set-ups that allow you to run dually rims front and back. Or.. Hit the junk yards for a rear from a dually and hubbs for the front (if you just skip the front, it will look strance and i spare will not work all the way around).
Keep in mind the load ratings and of whatever set-up you use!

 

I believe it's Arrrowcraft has conversion kits (all dual wheels). Friend of mine did this to his 1st gen, added aluminum flatbed...came out really nice.

I believe Rickson has/had spacers to allow stock flat type wheels.

Or boneyard mix and match.

Sory...don't have the links anymore..I ended up getting a DRW so trashed the info I had gathered.

<<<<Edit>>>>...it was Ricka for the pancake wheels:

Rickson has 19.5's though that may be another option.

 

And if one wanted to go from dually to SRW??? I wonder???
