Project... King Ranch Dually

B.Warning · May 24, 2013

Like stated....how much wider is a drw axle vs a srw? Truck is a 09. Thanks.

Alright I figured it out after some searching.

My next question, and please don't flame on me to hard.

Instead of swapping to a drw axle could one run a quality 2"spacer/adapter bolted to the axle with a 10 lug adapter bolted to that to run shaved 22's.

I'm not familiar with spacers/adapters so not sure if it'll be safe or not. I can't imagine it would be any different than what is done on the front axle. With the drw axle being a larger diameter I would need to rethink my ouo traction block setup.

Are you thinking about turning it into a dually full time?

If you are, Id just do it properly front and back.

Its gonna look legit

Yea it'll be a dually from here on out. I got my rims on order and tires found. I'm debating on going with a dually bed or a nice skirted flatbed. Like a Bradford or a cm.

Where are you and what year is the truck, I have my 04, I would swap it to single, I have the entire dually setup on my truck

And I need to buy tires and I'd rather have to limit my buying

Nice !

I personally don't like the look of a skirted bed, I like the traditional ones.
But either way in for final pics

What wheels you go with?

I'm in north east Missouri. And the truck is a 09.

That's kinda what I've heard. Although I've heard issues with the powder coat being a issue on some trucks.

I'm kinda on the fence to. I'm just not sure...sometimes I like the skirted bed, other times it's hard to say no to the looks of a traditional good looking bed.

Here's the 2 I'm thinking.

You're going to put a flat bed on that nice KR truck, why? You already have the 550 for the work truck. Plus it looks damn good right now. If you dead set on turning it into a DRW keep a pickup box on it.

I blame you, Randall, and Jared for my reasoning. I see your alls trucks and it makes me want a new one. Besides, I figure I'm ready for a new truck any way. I got my eyes peeled for a platinum edition truck.

My thoughts as of now...

Make mine a dually/flatbed
Sell the 550
Be on the look out for a platinum
I bought a single axle international, 466, 6spd. Throw a flatbed on it and use it as the trailer hauler.

Granted I'm sure ideas will change, but this is the plan.

Oh yea...it's yours, Randalls, and Jared fault. LOL
