DRW to SRW Pros cons discussion

If it was originally a single rear (typical pick-up), the "dually conversion" must be simply a set of wheel spacers allowing the duals to not hit your frame. Converting back to single should be as simple as removing the spacers and installing normal wheels on the rear.
My experience regarding traction with duals is they're terrible in slick conditions and will never match singles (unless there's a lot of weight involved). Towing & hauling, duals will always get the nod. Singles are also a little cheaper at the toll both!

A "pickup" can be converted to a official dually "pickup" by simply swapping in a dually rear end from a dually "pickup". The dually pickup rearend is 4 inches wider, giving room for the dual wheels to the pickup frame.

A "cab and chassis" dually rearend is different and won't fit. A cab and chassis rear frame is different from a pickup, and a pickup bed will not fit onto a chassis cab rear frame.

I completely agree with this!

No corner cutting on tires, brakes, batteries or steering. With age comes wisdom...
