Bob D, Thanks, I agree with you, I sure am leaning toward this setup, in my research I found that the overall is about 3" wider or an 1.5" per side. Anyone looking for a dully bed (white with spray in liner), 7 wheels, front and rear bumper?

Check out Rims N Tires and Rimz One, Rims N Tires has a very cool rim and tire size calculator. I suggest you shop the price after you have made you selection. I'm in the process of new wheels and tires and have found as much as 25% difference in cost. Beautiful rig! What is the bumper?

I must convert my 2006 3500 from DRW to SRW for a camper installation. Does anyone know of a SRW axle, 3.73 Limited Slip for sale or I will trade my bed, differential, front spacers and wheels to someone that wants to convert SRW to DRW. I will travel some reasonable distance to make the swap or...

I"m considering an ATS 48RE Stage 1 Package transmission for my stock truck. I would have it installed ATS Diesel Performance in Colorado. I do not tow, I will be using my truck for a overland XP Camper on a custom flatbed. The gross weight will be in the neighborhood of 12,000#. I plan to...

Can any tell me the amount of fluid needed to change the fluid in the front and rear differentials on my 2006 3500 DRW, the rear is limited slip? Also the transfer case capacity? Any idea how much brake fluid is needed to flush and renew the brake fluid?

Thank you my fellow members for your response and advice, your comments have greatly influenced my decision on parts. I ordered Dyanatrac ball joints (not knurled), Dana front axle u-joints and BD sway bar links. I also decided to replace the cooling and heater hoses using marine hose...

What tie rod ends and sway bar links? Are Moog tie rod ends also poor? What should I use for tie rod ends and sway bar links?

Doesn't sound like Moog is the answer, Carli and Dyantrac are very expensive, how about XRF? Has anyone used XRF and how much do they cost? Is it worth the premium for Carli over Dyantrac? This sure is a tough decision. Thanks for your comments and experience, I'm a newbie, I will spring for...

I am gathering parts to to overhaul the front end on my 2006 3500 DRW 4WD. I will install 35.1" Toyo Open Country ATII and lift 2" as part of a camper build and also change from DRW to SRW. I want 4.5-5 degrees of + caster when finished. My question is should I purchase Moog Problem Solver K7448...

I am building an overland camper on my 2006 3500 DRW (converting to SRW), 48RE transmission and want advice on preventive maintenance and/or upgrades at 90,000 miles, including the front end, drive train, cooling system and engine. What about the water pump, thermostat, cooling and heater hoses...

I only get a single page PDF that doesn't have any links, just lists the years. Can you help me?

The Toyo tires are 34.4", will be more inflated I guess.

I will install an after market anti-sway bar and have the stock differential cover and hitch, do you think the 265s will fit?

The wheels look fabulous , I'm getting ready to do the same to my 2006 DRW. A couple of questions: 1. You are running 265/70R, will the spare fit in the stock location, I was under the impression that the 265s won't fit in the spare location? 2. I am taking my bed and bumpers off and need...

Thanks for the reply, sounds like the 265s won't fit. I admit I'm new to this and not sure why I would want the 265/70r. I was set on 245s then just thought the 265s would be better. My truck is not lifted and with the camper, XP Camper V1, the truck will be near the max 12,200# I think. No way...
