it should be an easy swap just ck to make sure the brake line and yoke are the same if not you would have to swap yokes around

Check carefully, I think there are many suttle differences in frame of SRW vs DRW frames. If nothing else, dually is different width.

there is no different in the frames just the axle and springs yes there is a width difference also I think on the newer ones you just take off he spacer and get different wheels going from dually to SRW I love the ride but I think it's a waste of money you will have to have new wheels for the rear and and carry two different spares don;t use wheel spacer they don't work that great

the only difference is the width, you don't have to use any adapters for the wheels ..... I'm using '04 2500 wheels on my truck the width difference is not enough to notice. in fact, i think the front width is the same as the rear...... i'll go out and measure it

i just measured, there is about 3 inches difference over all in width. so that would be 1 1/2 inches wider on each side
