RE: k5 blazer
Nice looking truck! If it is not someone's hack job, maybe this truly was a prototype. How/where did you acquire it? What does the title/registration say?
Using only the outer dual can reportedly cause problems. If you want singles and you want them to line up, you need to flip hubs and get new rims unless you want a real skinny track. Otherwise, just run radials as duals. You can go with 11R20s and it will look and ride great.
If you flip the rear hubs and you use the dual outside tire, the track will be too wide. Some guys have left the hubs alone and just removed the inside duals for a single look. Front and rear track will not be the same and you have the possibility of premature bearing wear.

Others may like it, but my opinion is that stock rims on a deuce in single configuration look goofy. The rear track is very narrow, compared to the bed width. M135 rims look better, especially if you get a narrow pipeline bed such as Cranetruck. Otherwise, super singles call for new rims...

There is quite a bit of info on this if you want to search for it. If not, I'll give you my input and opinions:
1. New rims and tires are the only components needed to convert to singles. You may need to flip the rear hubs, depending on what rims you decide to go with.
2. The...
RE: Re: RE: 52” Michelins
There are a lot of 4x4 vehicles with hydraulically steered 2.5 ton axles. I have such a setup on my rockcrawler Jeep CJ. It works great for turning the huge tires offroad, but not too good for road use. Streering response can be an issue, not to mention the safety...
