on my power wagon i have a frt dana 60 dually axle . In the back i have a corp. 14 bolt ff non dually . so the frt tires stick out quite a bit more than the rears . is this gonna give me any problems im runnin standard 16.5 x 9.75 " rims or should i just buy a set of frthubs and associated parts too convert it to non dual frt .  

Wow wow wow back up a minute... how in the world do you steer that thing with dually hubs on the front?  

steers pretty well in the mud , havent driven it out on the road . so im guessin from your reaction that i should change it over ?  

You really should switch to non-dually front hubs.  

ken i'd listen to these guys, but that just looks AWESOME !!!!!!!!!  

well what kinda problems would be created by runnin the dually hubs?  

the tires have a lot of leverage and will turn into the body instead of a radius around the axle,

what I've been wondering is if there is a wheel that has a front wheel drive type inward-spacing maybe similiar to the hummer h-1 type 8 lug that will put the tire inwards like a factory dually wheel in a 10" wide wheel instead of a 7" so a 12.5 or 14.5" tire can be used, I'm wanting to put 8" cut-out fender flares on my dually and keep the wide axles, with single tires, getting rid of the rear fenders, 6" lift with 38.5-42x13.5-18or20's, maybe foose or boyds could make something of this nature. It would give it a hummer like stance with the big flares and single wheels.  

can't the outer spacers be unbolted from the rotor and install wheel studs? never paid that much attention to it other than I know they unbolt.

some of the duallies have a narrow rear end just have longer studs for the duals to bolt on, the utility or cab and chasis.  

mud if you get that done i wanna see it. that thing should look awesome!  

btw your talkin about your 80's model right?  

Yep, 86 k30 4x4 extracab dually. I search once in a while for off set wheels, haven't found any yet though.



 

when you get that done you gotta bring it over here and we're goin wheelin!  

yeah, like I'll want to scratch up my bling,  LOL  

I'm still trying to wrap my head this dually axle thing...

Are you saying you have the rear axle out of a dually in the front or the front axle from a dually?  

I think he probably has the front and rear duallies, just the rear is a narrow utility axle, so yeah the front is  sticking way out there.
