What kind of spacers are you runnin?

The only prob with a dually is the width fo the tires and I wold be kinda scared to run a spacer over 2"s. Depending on what kind of tire you want I would try a 37x12.50 or 38x12.50

I think a 13.50 would be absolutley as wide as I would go, just my opinion. With a tire that tall I dont guess youll be hookin to any goosenecks so if you are not gonna load the bed much then you could have the sidewalls pretty close and not worry about em touchin.

Depending on how much you drive the truck some 39x13.50 iroks might work. But I here they wear quickly.

With just a 6" suspention I would go with the 37s. If you did a body then go 38s, I thought you had a 3" body but now that I look back, I dont think I see one.

Some run 37s with a 4.5 but I would think that if you wheel very hard it may rub.

Either or, 37s or 38s should work but the 37s should be issue free.
