bigger tires?

I dunno, my truck is all go and no show . looks like a stock truck on 35's from the outside till you see the black rear fender and tailpipe...

or the gauges on the pillar and column.

if you see it running or drive next to it down the highway you will know it's definitely not stock. hard to hide the sound of twins at cruise speeds...

just make sure you don't put a bug deflector on it or lots of chrome and running boards....that will look like a grandpa truck.

here's a pretty sexy dually:

Makes me question why you bought the dually in the first place if you felt that way. If you don't like it, convert it to a SRW. Very easy job and can be done in a couple hours.

Yes, it would be best to swap beds. On the second generation Dodge dually bed the dually fenders are riveted on, which yes the holes remaining can easily be filled. The largest hole is behind the dually fender for the fuel filler neck. The fuel filler neck goes through the sheet metal of the bed to connect to the dually fender so that big hole would been to be plated, building the correct curve to match the bed. It is just easier to swap beds, that is what I did on my truck. If you'd like to see some threads on just removing the fenders, Google it, there are only a few out there, but they are out there.

Just my opinion... but if you got a Dually.. Flaunt it loud & proud Put some 22.5's on it. I think they look awesome! Just my opinion
