I'm surprised I haven't seen a truck with the big single rear tire like some of the semi's are using now. That would be sweet

Just wondering, what's the point of a lifted dually? Doesn't it completely ruin the ability of towing a GN or 5er? What's the point of a dually if you can't tow with it?

It would be sweet! No doubt. The tires offered are in the range of 445/50R22.5 (Almost 40" in diameter). That can't be done with a 2" levelling kit. If you have a 4x4, you have to match the diameter up front as well. That shouldn't be hard. I believe the drive singles are offered in matching diameters.

I thought of running 22.5 dual rear 255's with Super Singles up front. I actually saw a truck at SEMA with this, and it was very nice, however, you still need more than 2" of front lift. The Super Singles are just too wide. If I could get a Super Single front less than 9" wide and backspaced properly (custom?), that would do it! Then I could run the same tires front and rear.

I've seen quite a few pics of trucks running the Super Singles, or Floats. Gotta put some big lift on the truck to clear most of them though.

Performance, your truck has a great look to it. I would paint the door handles and mirrors and then it would be super cool.
DWiggs truck is really cool, and he seems like a really great guy, BUTTTTTT he's got well into six figures into that truck so thinking less of yours is crazy. You have done a great job for an average guy....
