The front has spacers for the wheel offset and I think the back axles are the same. May need longer studs. Ive seen a few that have put duals on the back and left the front stock wheels on a 3/4 ton.

how well would that work? wouldnt cause problems with tire wear. all im worried about is not having to change the front axel. i have a donar dually but its only 2 wheel drive. i just want more towing capacity. im going to eventually get the air ride system also

man i wish it was i love snow. driving in the muds no problem been doing it a long time. this truck just sinks like a rock. but i dont use it for play anymore. so it wont see much mud. i have been thinking about hot shot driving. and was told a dually would be better. but i love the way i can pull anything and never know its back there in my truck. so i guess i will just save the money and use it towards the air ride. thanks for the info. how do you like your edge?
