Single wheel to dual wheel, and auto to standard

I have a 04 2500 quad cab short bed I want to make it a dually and put a 6 speed standard transmission in it. What will I need to make it a dually other then the dually spacer for the front, 06-up mega cab dually fenders, and longer studs for the rear-end?? Will my stock wiring harness be ok if I put a 6-speed transmission in my truck??

I have a buddy who just did the same. He bought a kit and then supplied the 235 tires. Cost him about $2500.00 Looks factory. He still needs to paint the fenders. Don't know about the tranny.

The tranny switch will be complicated. Don't know if it's worth it. Seems you may be able to find a dually with six speed pretty cheap these days. I saw another string about a tranny swap a few weeks ago, and all the changes that were necessary was a little mind boggling. Do a search and you'll find the string.
