making the 2500 a dually

i got some nice wheels for a dually from my buddy who works at a bone yard ...they're practically new(the whole set) i think im gonna go to the bone yard and get some solid dually adapters and pop em on....i dont work the truck so its all for show ...they're 235/85/16 nothign major but they're brand new

ps i thought about not adding the dually fenders ...just keeping it the same i think it will actually look pretty cool

Make sure the tires don't stick outside the fenders too far. Some states only allow 1-2 inches.

i'm pretty sure that running the second set of tires outside of the well is illegal.

you can get a summons for pulling a trailer without fenders on those tires. its a safety issue. when it rains, those unfendered tires are gonna create a pretty big visual screen. not safe for those who travel next to you or behind you.

To say nothing of the paint on your bed getting sandblasted with every tire revolution..
