They are custom made for each application, no drilling or modifications are necessary, according to their website.

Yeah I was trying to think of the word. Cause we say it differently around here than "rustlers" I couldn't think of the word. Cattle rustlers are nothing to mess with unless you want a big mess.

I don't recall any mention of 4x4 or 4x2.

It's a dually man get used to getting stuck, they see mud, snow, sand, wet grass and it's over with. Mud tires will help a bit, chains well if you need to chain up you should not be there with a dually. Does it have a open or lsd in the diff, might want to upgrade to a lsd if it's a open diff.

Either it's open or the lsd isn't working.

Yeah I know you're not blowing smoke. Friend had a 4wd dually and it got stuck too. But that was a mud slough LOL.

Sometime I probably am going to put in better gears too. So that's when I'll put the lsd in it. A locker would be nice too .
