Well naturally the wheel/tire combo is heavier, so it will wear pieces out faster like tie rod ends, ball joints, and the sorts. Can't be much heavier than guys running 37"+ tires though... I've heard good and bad things about the ride. You will want some plush suspension to go with them... Maybe PM Nydiver on here, he has a 7.3 dually he runs the semi wheels on I believe.

I put on close to 30k miles a month hauling RVs up to Canada and I'm wanting to upgrade my tires I was thinking of running the 19.5 conversion with the direct bolt on rims. But that x1 combo looks way to badass! I'm going for milage on my work truck but I also have a 2012 dually on order that will be my personal truck to I'm thinking its going to get those depending what's all involved.

shrek that king ranch truck was a customer of the guys at FCDP (First Coast Diesel Performance). Adam Brannan is the guy you want to talk to over there, one of the nicest people in the industry. Google their info and call them up, if he doesn't know, I'm sure he'd put you in contact with the guy who owns the truck.

Super singles look hideous to me. It's called a dually for a reason.....just saying
