I have an email into a company I found.. but they look like they only make them for 1/2 ton - 1 tons.
They use adapters like this to allow room for a dually wheel (front and rear) I'll let you know what i find, but still looking for thought and ideas.

I have seen that Dakota pic somewhere too. I would say the best way to go about it is just get a dually axle and install it.

I believe it would be much too wide as it would have to come off a 1/2 ton, no?

That dakota picture is one I found on craigslist a while back. I think it was a dealership package, but its called the "zimmer" dakota.

I got the info back from one company. They referenced me to another company because they dont do 1/2 tons or smaller anymore but said that "custom and Commercial" in CA could probably help. I have an email into them.

Arrowcraft Products (the first company) said that I would have to convert my lugs to a dodge 3/4 ton pattern before their kits would work. If I did that first it would be $395/ pair for the rear and $305/ pair for the front.

Is there a spacer out there that will change to a 3/4 ton dodge wheel? (8 lug maybe?)

Hopefully the other guys have a kit for it.

The only thing would be wheel spacers. Ebay has the biggest selection.

i had dual 2.5 in glass packs on my truck for awhile. very loud. i liked it, the cops didnt and made me quiet it down. added the turbo mufflers on top of the glass packs. way quieter, ok deep sound. actually sounds great for the price lol. i dont have to idle it around town anymore constantly looking over my shoulder for cops so thats a plus. im not sure if its quiet enough for hunting, but if the pipes ran to the back of the truck im sure it would be a lot quieter
