[military bogger]

[Excuse Me]

Would duals work? I am running dual 14.00s on one of my 931s.

Running duels on the front is VERY hard on ALL the steering components, steering box and mount, drag link, tie rod, lower steering arms

I'd look from some smaller version of the skidder tires. You should be able to find some rims with a decent offset.
As stated above, duals on the front are a bad idea for several reasons.

Ya, I imagine war is easy on'm. For my use, I am not pulling a 30 ton trailer with whatever support eq thru ruts and rocks like the truck was made to do. I'm just motoring along over wet soils with a couple ton of pesticide. And,...going down the road at about 35mph, it handles fine. I thought I would be white knuckling it on crowned rback roads, but it is quite nice to drive. I just keep both hands on the wheel in case I hit a pot hole. Then it may get nasty.But it would take a pretty good sized hole.
