change an 07 2500 to a dually?
 
I am wondering what parts are needed or even if it is possible to change my 07 2500 4x4 quad cab longbed into a dually, I want to use dually wheels on the front as well as the rear. I want it to be correct, not like a mexico farm truck or JC Whitney conversion.
I would like to build a flatbed and install a Carli 2.0 lift with long travel air bags. It will be my welding truck and I already own it so converting it would be better than buying a used one I dont know the history of, or cant afford
Thanks for your input

:humm:

i think it can be done buy putting and dually wheel adapter on it. duallys look bad ass

swap the axle for a dually. The best way to go. The dually adapters are ok but i have heard that the add stress to the hubs. I would suggest going to a junkyard and find a dually with front end damage and just pull the rear leafs and rear end. And on the front im not sure but you will probly need hub extensions.

Hers is a start. jsut found it on ebay looking for part for my truck

ummmm:humm:hmmmm:w2:why on the front??? been a welder a long time,had to take my crap out in the woods and on farms to fix broken shit.....never needed duals in the front.Just curious. seems it would be a real pain to steer.

Dont actually want duals in the front just want the dually style wheels instead of using single style wheels

I know someone that has the adapters and all to convert it from a SRW 2500 to a DRW with a big 10 semi lug pattern if you are interested.

go to wheel adapter.com this guy has the best and they are made of steel not billet and are a lot stronger he has front and rear adapters i just ordered fronts and rears for mine!:jump: billet will break stay away from them!

you got to have adapters in the front to run bud wheels. i have a 91 250 that i changed to a dually flat bed. i hear guys talk like some adapters are not good. mine are very heavy. i know good ones are out there.

latenighthaulers 01-10-2010 02:12 PM

yes on some trucks you can swap the rotors and run dually wheels but that is only on some trucks......billet ones break real easy i broke two sets on my other truck......
