Ya know- I think you might be onto something with this thread. Especially a rwd non towing dually

 

I never understood a slammed dually...the first time I saw one, I wanted to go over to the guy and smack him upside the head for being an idiot and ruining a perfectly good truck!

 

I like them lifted and dropped..........heck I like duallies in general!! They are just cool looking trucks!!

That red one in the pic above is sweet!!!!

Yes, that is SUH-WEET!!!!

 

saw a 3500 mega cab at last years carlisle all truck nationals with 15"? lift.



but a dually with like 36's looks beast. but i do like the few lowered duallys i see in diesel mags

 

I do like the looks of em, but I look too much at practicality as well. A lot of the trailers I pull, I don't have much clearance on the bed rails as it is...

 

I bought my truck with 35's and a 4'' lift. You guys are right, they are not practical but look good. Now the mudders are gone and I'm getting ready to remove the lift and take it down to levelled height. Tired of jacking the slide in camper up sitting on top of 12'' blocks.

 

Thats my plan down the line. Air ride in the future.

 

I got a better question for ya. Why have a dually with a bed cover. If you aren't hauling a gooseneck or fifth wheel why have the dually? I mean why stop there. Just get a Freightliner for a daily driver, and be the top dog.

 

Guys this is my work truck i tow atleast a few times a week from my littel enclosed welding trailer to customers boats (35 FOOT GRADY WHITE ) To my 30 foot flat bed loaded with steel or cars or saud ive had it olmost bottomed out in the rear (morron at home depot couldnt load a traier rite) And ive had it up to the rochers in mud at a trucks gone wild event it my work truck and my daily driver you can have a lifted dually and use it but you do have me on the goos neck id hafto weld up my own trailer i guess. And they do good off road

Diesel is kiling me tho

 

I quess I'll be the one to ask this but how in the heck do you get into one of those trucks? Do you have a step ladder hide someplace?

 

I think dualies are best slammed myself.
Preferably pulling a slammed 5th wheel camper.

 

a buddy of mine down here has a slammed chevy dually and it is a gooood looking truck but personaly i like to off road evrytime i get a chance wich i wish was more than it is but hey lets face it when done properly they can both still be functional lifted or dropped

 

I'll be the first to admit I don't need a 1-ton. If I bought what I needed, I'd be driving a smart car, because thats all I need. Something to get me to work, haul my clothes and tools from site to site.

In my case, my tonneau cover rolls up, so there is no lost utility except for maybe that 1" the cover protrudes into the box at the front. Second, when I bought my truck, my truck was cheaper than just about any of the 2500's I was looking at. Made sense to buy it. Its not like a dually is all that much more truck than a 2500 though. Same frame, same suspension, same drivetrain, same body. Only difference is I have 6 tires to everyone elses 4. Better traction in the summer time. Worse in the winter though.

I might be picking up a 2500 shortly. That truck wil have a tonneau cover on it as well.

 

I just like the look of duallies...
