you want to do what? put the dodge axles under the ford? i wouldn't. putting a superduty srw axle under the back of the superduty is the better option, as long as you can get the gear ratios to match in the front and rear if its 4x4. need a better explanation of what youre wanting to do for anyone to help.

No,just wondering what I need to make the dually a 2 tire back.Not with dodge parts..maybe theres a kit.for the f350s &yes its 4x4

I don't know about the newer trucks, but the older ones you could just swap all the hubs between SRW and DRW.
Has to be same axles though.

Ok so what I have read is I can just pull the outter set of rear wheels, &pull the front wheels..is.it really as simple.as that?Does it screw with the brakes?I want to run atleast a 20 with 35-37s &a little bit of lift & the prices on.tires&wheels.would be like buying another truck.The duallys do look.sick.lifted but.I.just.saw a.lifted.dually with 37s.on.his stock 16s&they.looked like doughnuts.Id love to.run a 22.5 semi set up as I can get em.as low.as 15 bucks a pop outta my buddys place & I could poweder coat black chrome but I cant find semi.tires@a good.price

the front ends have spacers you could pull..you can pull the outside rears but keep in mind the rear end its self is a little narrower then the a SW axles..IMO it would look off....you could add spacers to get the wheels back out where they belong for a SW look though...id love to do an axle swap with you but your to far away..not sure what shipping would be...

It's easy, I just did the swap.

Just swap the rearend, and take the spacers off the front hubs. What gear ration do you have? I went from a single to a dual rearend. Let me see if I can wrangle up some pictures. Everything is a direct bolt on swap except for the U-Bolts. You will have to get the single rear U-bolts.

I have the rear-end that came out of that truck. Just changed the fluid and put new e-brakes on it before the swap.

Here's some pics. Took my brother and I about 2 hours to do it.

You have to swap the rearends, unless you want the stance to be wider in the back.

It's just a beater truck I'm planning on putting a flatbed on.

I'm also running the single wheel in front, because I like the look, but all you have to do is unbolt the spacers from the hubs.


I might be interested in the rearend you have if you wanted to swap.

My gears are 4:10s the way.I see it is if someone.wants to swap axles cool. But if I can do most off it for free I will & just buy some.spacers

 

[Big Calo]

Also I had to get the back half of the driveshaft for a dually because the SRW piece was to long, so I'm not sure if yours would extend enough to reach the yoke or not. I may have mine that I took off. I would have to check.

But the dually rear end is wider, so spacers will push the tires out even farther. I don't remember exactly, but the dually rearend was 3-4 inches wider. If you look at the second pic I took, you can see how far the tire sticks out on the back vs the front.


Or are you talking about putting spacers on the front to match the back?
