front hub spacers to mount dually wheel

Im finally finishing the conversion, Iv got the money to buy a new set of tires and would like to be able to rotate them evenly. Does anyone know where to get the spacers for the front? I found arrowcraft, but at 400 a pair Im going to keep looking.

What you want is on the front of any DRW-4x4 straight-axle truck, Dodge, Chevy, or Ford.

The DRW-4x4 front axles are identical to SRW axles, except for the addition of these spacers.

The spacer mounts just like a SRW wheel and the DRW wheel mounts to the studs on the spacer.


These can also be used to convert the rear of an SRW to DRW.


Maybe someone has a picture of what I am describing.

I have a pair of Arrowcrafts on my truck now. I am in the process of getting the correct adapters off a Dodge dually. I want to do the conversion just like factory. The Arrowcrafts are steel while many others are 6061 billet aluminum. If ya can wait till I get my arrowcrafts off I'll sell em.

Would spacers from a 2wd dually work? If so, I may know where some are locally.

I have never seen the spacers used on a 2WD-DRW front hub; they have an entirely different set-up than a SRW front hub.


I don't know if one could even swap the hubs/backing-plates/etc., as the knuckles/spindles may even be different.

I was wanting something similiar to the arrowcraft, so that in the future I could take them off and maybe run single's if it suited me. NOt sure if the it is a pita either way. Im also thinking that actually finding a dana 60 at a junk yard is going to be a chore. I will pm you.

Nope, tried thinking of everyway to make it work but don't think it will. I have a pair with brand new rotors on them if anyone is swapping a 2wd SRW to a DRW.
