2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 2500 dually

[Cumminpwr11]

I saw a spacer that would turn a single rear wheel into a dually. I lost the magizine that it was in so any help would be great.



Besides the smaller rear axle, what are the differences between a 2500 4x4 and a 3500 4x4. I just bought a 32' 5th wheel and I want to make it as easy as I can towing the grades and the passes.



thanks

Arrowcraft makes kits (spacers) and sells the wheels and fenders that just bolt in. I beleive there are differences in brakes and suspension too.

Keep in mind the addition of the "dually kit" will help keep your truck more stable while towing, but will not increase your weight limit.

In the front end the springs are different. Everything else looks like it is the same part number for both 2500 & 3500 4x4. The front wheel adapter PN is 5015234AA and is $133 at the dealer I called. In the rear the leaf springs are different but the overload springs are the same.



I would like to know if the adapter from the front would fit on the rear end. Is the hole in the center is big enough to slide over the hub?

If I use air bags in the back, I shouldnt have to upgrade my rear springs should I?



Thanks for all the help. I can what to start.



Now all I need is to get a pair of 19. 5 wheel and I am set.
