Dual Wheels On A 3/4 ton

[wes06dmax]

I have looked for this thread already because I think somebody has already asked this question but could you take the wheels off of a dually and put them on a 3/4 ton because I wasnt for sure how the wheels was dished on a ton and I was wondering how ppl do this

I know this is a custom built truck just posted the picture to show you what i was talking about

You will need a dually axles as they are 2" wider on each side with 2" wheel spacers in between the wheels or you can use your srw axle and use 3" spacer on the inside and 2" spacers in between the wheels.

The tracks look a lot looser out there though. Come to a midwest track, and it will break.

Reason why i was asking is that I have a friend who has a 2wd lb7 around 500 horse and he was gonna try our new 8000lb 2wd diesel class

I thought I might try the dual setup when it rains and the tracks are loose

Yall pull in a dust bowl out there trent Alot easier on drivetrain when you can spin out.

If he does try this setup make sure he welds his axle tubes

ALOT, runs 11.20's on 33's at stupid elevation

exactly, it is not uncommon for us to put a set of moser axles in troys truck every 4 to 5 pulls. usually after 1 or 2 they are twisted, but he is a tight ass, so he runs them till they break. he did finally switch the 38 spline stuff with much better luck at the end of the year.

They should be welded regardless. sucks to spin the housing!

Burkhard sells a dually kit which allows you to run your normal rim on the outside. Does anyone know how it works? Also if you change to 4.10 gears is that alright for the odd trip down the drag strip?

 

[CurtisEmery]

4:10's won't hurt you much at all on the road or strip Dave.

exactly you have 6 gears!

 

[wes06dmax]

On a single wheel drive could you put a wheel on the axle then use spacers to put the other wheel on would that work. Im just brain storming

 

[g man]

Yes. See above post referring to Burkhardt's product.

..... or use a spaceron the axle and run dually style wheels. 285's can be used without spacers. air them down, mount the outside wheel the air them up. DO NOT RUN THEM ON THE STREET THIS WAY!

...and as mentioned above, parts failure WILL happen on our clay tracks. (if you have enough HP)

I would put duals on the front :rofl:

I'm surprised no one has tried that yet. Maybe this could be the next big thing in pulling.
