Has anyone on here done this conversion? Please post some pics if you have. I'm curious if it would be worthwhile, to give more stability when towing. The 3500 duallys have a bigger axle and diff. than the 2500, I'm sure. Would the added wheels/tires/spacers add a lot of stress to the drive train? What about brakes? You'd also have to buy a dually bed too, or a flat bed, right?

A quad-cab dually can be rough unloaded on the road.
A regular cab is worse.
A SHORT-Bed dually would ride like a buckboard.
Just make sure it comes with a kidney belt, and a helmet.
