    Dually conversion done simple on the cheap.

    Found this. Is this all because of the hub's being different, or are mounting flanges different widths, or are the axles and tubes diffetenti assume that they are measuring from mounting surfaces, or outer brake drum? SRW (single rear wheel truck) 67.5" DRW (dual rear wheel truck) 72" C&C...

    Dually conversion done simple on the cheap.

    I am staying 14 bolt as I have the locker for it. I also have wondered if I can just put the dually hub's on my 14 bolt axle and save a lot of work? -Is the axle tube strong enough to be worth it? -I have fenders I can use if needed. -Wider would cut down on sway right? -Are there cucv dually...

    Dually conversion done simple on the cheap.

    So, sounds like the narrow 14 bolt will work and keep the outer wheels closer in from the curb. Then I may need to go to a flat bed, or cut up my bed. The front dually hub's are good to go. Right?

    It is. Came under a dump. Not OK?

    Dually conversion done simple on the cheap.

    Looks like 49 1/4 in backing plate to backing plate and 70 " end to end including Axel hubs. By adding the steel spacers, will I be good?

    The two dually 14 bolts are how wide, and outer hub to hub, or from between backing plates?

    Dually conversion done simple on the cheap.

    Here's what I managed to find: Front hubs, 2 new rotors, 2 rims for my hub's and rotors. 14 bolt dually rear, and 6 rims and 4 good tires, 2 steel spacers, $600. I hope to reuse my calipers and pads up front. I also hope to put my locker in the dually axle at the same time as the 1410 u joint...

    Dually conversion done simple on the cheap.

    Story of my life... I should have learned that lesson from back when I was chasing girls. Can't slap spacers in and go? I've got 9-16 14 ply tires and 8 plain rims.

    Dually conversion done simple on the cheap.

    How would I make my m1008 into a dually on the cheap? I'd like to keep my axle and do I have a way to use all my OEM rims? I've got to wondering from to much time on my hands.

    Wish your M1008 would turn like an M1009?

    What's the easiest way to put dually wheels on a 14 bolt like ours?

    Oh, btw, I like it. Cool mini semi.

    Wish your M1008 would turn like an M1009?

    I think it would add to "WTF, did GM make that?" factor.

    Center mount intercooler?

    Most of up front space has oil, and trans coolers, and electric fans in it. I was avoiding putting the "inter boost charge air to air cooler" down low or out front to avoid road damage. Anything I can do to lower eggs and up power is good. I have added a better ylturbo etc, as in my signature...

    Dual caliper fronts on a D60?

    I understand, I do have braked axles. I've burnt a couple sets of brakes towing trailers without them. I know rims with air flow would help too, but I actually like the factory steel ones.

    Dual caliper fronts on a D60?

    Sweet, is that aluminum or stainless? Someday I'd like an old body on my frame. I once did a fiberglass body on a CJ.

    Dual caliper fronts on a D60?

    Just wondering if a kit exists? If a person put disk on the rear, seams dual up front would be the next step. Max braking when towing and all that.

    hmmwv takeoffs

    I am pleased with my STA Superlugs. 9x16, 36" tall, 14ply. Do not need a lift for them to fit. They are bias ply and you do notice that. I have driven a lot on them. Wear like iron, good on the highway, remarkably deep lugs. Not a soft mud tire, but great in snow and mud if there is a...
