very nice:tu:

Looks Good!, you cannot go wrong with only $3000 for that truck. Hell, I paid $9500 for mine in about that condition. Now you are giving me the itch to convert it to SRW......but I think I will want the duals to pull my 33' 5th wheel toy hauler when desert season starts.
:tu:

Bad azz:rocking: I love Craigslist!!!:rocking:

I LOVE the paint on that thing!!! I always like seeing DRWs converted to SRWs... :rocking:

Thats all there is to a srw conversion just knock the adapters off the front and shorter wheel studs in the rear? Nice job yer truck looks awesome!

yeah thats pretty much it and i used the stock lugs for the DRW

sick truck man ! you did a great job.:c:

how much wider is the drw axle compared to the srw axle?
