Dumping the duals

I've decided to go to a SRW. Anyone looking for spare dually fenders or 17X6 AE dually wheels (2)? Also does anyone know if the bushwacker fender flares will cover the rear fender cutouts left from the duals? Check pics for a look at the rear duals and fenders.

Somebody on TDR had changed their truck to a SRW from a dually. Check it out there. Good luck

Out of curiosity, why would you go from Dually to SRW? Don't need the duals?

I think the fender flares may work, but there will probably be a lot of holes left where the dually fenders attach to the bedside itself. This member opted for a SRW bed...I think someone in OH did the same thing; If I can find a link I'll post it, too.

I moved, so I'm not pulling horse trailers in my off time anymore, so I really don't need them, I love the look of my truck, but the tire choices just aren't there, I want to run 35's or 36's, but no-one makes them in 17's that are skinny enough to run on the duals.... I already have a 2" spacer running my 285's, so I could run 35X12.5's, but it would slow my truck down too much....to much unsprung weight with those back there.... DC pisses me off....what were they thinking with those 17's???
