MAKING A 2500 RAM A DUALLY

I have never seen one actually. It seems quite possible but I would think you would have to replace the rear differential and axles to the Dana 80. Then you would just need to attach the fender flares for the body and slap some tires on. There may be a stronger drive shaft involved unless hes just doing it for looks. It seems more than feasible though. As far as I know the dually is an upgraded version with more leaf springs and tires for traction and weight distribution to keep the truck from squatting as much.

thats just about true with all diesels, or trucks in general. 1 tons have heavier frames than 3/4 tons. and the number of springs is just about always different, unless you have like a heavy duty 3/4 ton, then they use 1 ton springs in some cases but the frames are still different. now im not sure about dodge but for a while ford was using the same rear end in some 3/4 tons as they were in the 1 tons. so you could run duals on that axle. but..... the older trucks (87 to 97) had 2 1/2" wide leaf springs, (if the truck was made to be a dually.) if it was just a regular pickup, it would have 3 inch wide leafs, so the inner dual would rub unless you had a different offset rim. im not sure if this is the same case for dodge, i'd be curious to know.
