I think doing this http://usa6x6.com/ to a 3500 and have a pair of dual rear wheels would make one SWEET tow rig.

Pretty cool - hope you have lots of money or plenty of fabrication skills (even better to have a truckfull of both!)...

I like that.... Could come in handy for some things..... not sure how well the frame would put up with that though?! seems like there could be some frame twisting going on...

Why not just get a regular dually? I know that it wouldn't have the unusual factor but it would certainly be cheaper.

Who in their right mind would want to pay for the excess tire wear from turning with one of these ?

They should make it air lift like some of the truck axles are.

Friend of mine from Va Beach has a limo service. He has a Hummer H2 done by them, the back of the hummer has a hot tub and its stretched a little. The conversion company for the Hummer sent it to USA 6x6 to get it to hold the water.

I think it would look better as a Cab and Chassis with stacks or a custom bed for hauling a giant 5er.

That is what I was thinking it would be good for. Something to compete with the F550 class.

What do you think the GCVWR would be on that beast?
