?? about Dually adapters on a 1500
Hey just doing some day dreaming and was wondering if anyone had added dually wheel adapters on a 1500 Ram?
I just think a dually is cool (I miss my old 1997 F-350 dually did a lot of work to it), but can't afford a 3500 dually for a while. With those new smaller dually fenders that Dodge has now verses the big old style ones I think it would look sick.
just dreamin, H-

wouldnt be safe anyway... having dually wheels using adapters which are usually made from aluminum is a good way to snap the lugs off since 5 into 8 x 2 wheels/tires that are upwards of 3 times heavier over all than the existing tire/wheel combo. Plus you run a much greater chance of breaking an axle due to the same thing but because of traction difference. Your current setup will break free when the proper amount of torque is applied therefore saving your axles from snapping... now add the extra weight and traction surface area to the equation and that means somethings going to break alot sooner.

Yeah just dreaming about it, I did find a company that does this http://www.customcommercialwheel.com/productguide.htm
They have a dually Dakota on there. I'll try to upload a picture looks really sick!!
I remember a guy back home who's Dad had built a dually military ****** jeep. He centered and welded a 6" pipe spacer between two 15" wheels for each side of the rear of the jeep.
I did read up on using some adapters for just the back axle and you keep the front wheels and hubs the same. Then you use regular steel wheels for the inside duals and run your regular wheels on the outside.
Yeah didn't think about the strain on a 1/2 ton 5-lugs, don't need a accident down the road.
