Dual Designs vs. Rickson Wheels & Tires

[Puff]

Anyone have any thoughts on the two? Anyone think one is better than the other?

Dual Designs requires adapters. Ricksons are a direct bolt on. Rickson just came out with aluminum wheels which reduces wheel weight about 20lbs. I beleive you can get the aluminum wheels for the 3500s now Rickson is taking orders for the 2500 trucks, but I would give them a call to find out the latest. I keep waiting for them to update their website but it has been "under construction" for at least 6 months

six months?

don't know how they can do business in today's world.....

Maybe if Rickson reads this he'll get motivated to update his website.



The last time I was thinking of 19. 5s was just about a year ago, and Rickson's website was just as it is now. When I went to his website yesterday, and it hadn't changed, I figured he was either out of business or going under. I saw the link for Dual Designs on the TDR link list and went there... their website is not great either, but at least they have SOME information.



I'm surprised how many people with their own business still don't realize the importance of having, and updating, a good website.



Thanks for the input.

Especially in a niche market like that.

Similar to the DT Trac Bar web site. I went there last month to get some info, and tried to email them from the email link on their site. The message bounced back. So I called them, and mentioned the bad email link... The woman I spoke with said they hadn't updated their web site in well over a year... .....



But I ordered my DT Trac bar anyway, and when my Skyjacker lift kit comes in, it all goes on the truck!!

A much better website.



I don't like the rickson's because of availability. If you break one you have to go to them.



a 19. 5 truck wheel is easy to come by.



FWIW,
