I need some suggestions.
I have an 02 3500 dually cab and chasis with no bed. We bought a dually bed and want to put it in the cab and chasis, problem is the cab and chasis rearend is narrower than the new bed. What can I do to widen the wheel base. I have heard of spacers, they look simple, Are they safe. I haul alot of stock and cant afford fixing one problem to create another.
Thanks for you help

 

the C&C is also longer. so you will either have a horrible looking gap at the cab or your wheel wells wont be center

 

Gap would be good for stacks.....................

Trade diffs for the disk brake version of correct width.

 

You could make it a SRW. I have a cab and chassis rearend in my SRW. What gear ratio??

 

yup thats what i wanted to say... a guy i know, drives a ram 4000 cab n chasis, and he put a bed on it there is about an over 5 inch room between the cab n bed...

 

dually axles are pretty cheap, the full width ones, am I misunderstanding you?

 

I put a new one under my truck, all I could find was a dually axle. Mine with disk brakes was $1500 that was the cheapest I could find at the time. good luck

 

Anyone know about the width of the spring mounts on the axle?? is he going to have to move them if he uses a st dual axles?? Just curious... and shock location.. nuthing that can't be moved..

 

the spring mounts and shocks are the same.

 

I would put a flatbed on it

Why is it that they make the C&C axles more narrow?

 

How about a regular box with bed floor notched and wheel humps chopped and sectioned to clear the inner tire, add bushwacker fender flares to cover the meats. Or just put in a lift kit and add the flares....this works!

 

id say its stronger... the springs closer to the wheel
