Hi guys!! I’m looking into putting duals on my single wheel. A friend of mine did it with spacers but he can’t remember where he got them. Was looking for some info or insight into doing this. Thanks

This is alot more envolved then just adding wheels.

Yes, it is, if you want to do it right.

If you want to do it right and have it look like it was originally a dually, you'll need a shorter rear axle (if I recall correctly, could be wrong on this), and spacers for the front, and new wheels all the way around. You'll also need fenders, regardless of how you go about it.

If you're planning to keep your stock axle, you'll still need new rims for the rear so the rear tires don't rub - there's a reason dually rims are different from every other kind of rim. You could probably keep your current rims for the front and not run spacers up there, but then you'll need two different spares with you in case you get a flat. Still need fenders for the rear to cover the wheels - no fender over your tires is basically an instant fix-it ticket from what I understand.

It is WAY more than just spacers and another set of tires.
