SRW to DRW

Hello i have done a lot of searching and found a lot out. Maybe you guys can just help me get right to the point. I have a 2006 2500 mega cab and i want to make it a dually. I have the fenders and all the wheels but what do i need to get for the wheels to get the on. I see spacers that i can get but what size do i get for the front? and whats the best thing to do in the back

Thanks
Danny

The factory DRW axle is 3 inches wider than the SRW axle. So you'd need atleast 1.5" spacers on each side of the rear axle. On the front you can get a set of factory Dodge spacers from a 4wd dually, or buy some after market. I've seen them on ebay for around $150. You can also try this place.

As sugested already, try Arrow also.

I installed an ArrowCraft kit on my 02 2500 in 2005 and have had no issues at all. Hauled a Lance 1010 in the bed for a year and have been towing a 11K 5th wheel since then. Good folks to work with as well. Family run business, not a Corruptoration.
