Those dually front spacer are what you need, yes. But a SRW truck's front wheel bearings have longer studs. They have the ones with the rounded tip whereas a drw truck's wheel bearings are squared off(little bit shorter). I think there will still be enough room to stick the nuts on to tighten up the OEM dually adapters. You probably will need a minimum of 3" spacer on the hub in the rear. Then whatever else is required between the wheels, if any.

You can't use the front spacers on the rear. They will not fit over the hub.

I would sell the front pair of spacer/adapters for $150 shipped.
