Why In the world would you want to lower a dually? It would also help to have the following: gas or diesel, 4x4 or 2x4.

Its a 2wd cummins. Im wanting to put some 24.5 big rig wheels on it with some low pro tires. Im wanting to go low with it but not slammed. Ive looked every where and cant find nothing. I thought about putting a leveling kit on the front but im wanting to lower it more than lifting it.

The vast majority of people buy a 3500 for towing heavy loads and need the height, so there's not much call for aftermarket companies to develop a lowering kit for them. I've seen a few lowered, but I think they were all done custom. Try Eibach, they specialize in lowering trucks.

Most thing I have heard about putting big rig wheels on are you need to get an adapter made so it fits the lugs and I have only seen big rig wheels on trucks with 6" of suspension lift. As rick said if you tow with this and want to lower is bad Idea!!

go with airbags in the rear, so you can still be low, and tow if ya want, and i agree lowered duallys look kick ***

duallys in general are cool anyway

can i have your 12 valve
