on the front the adapters just bolt to the existing studs.
as for the rear, a dually pickup, NOT a cab and chassis rear is the same width at the spring perches, the caliper, brake pads, hoses, etc are all the same, only differnce is the u joint

Are you just trying to up the weight carrying ability, or you want the look?

19.5" tires and wheels can get you up to nearly 5000# per corner.

i pull a 25ft gooseneck flatbed and it has tandem duals i i like the look first off and with duals i could use the truck spare for a trailer spare. and i like the stability the duals offer and i am planning to put a flat bed on this truck.
