Single versus dually rear axle difference? - Competition Diesel.Com

AsTroSS · 08-21-2006, 01:07 PM

What is the main difference between Dodge Ram 2500 (single wheel, Dana 70) rear axle and Ram 3500 (dually, Dana 80) ?

Is the difference only wheels+ bigger differential?

Can I install dually wheels to my Ram 2500 ?

What is max tire size of dually wheels? Is 35/12.5 -16 too big, do they rub between the tires?

I like the look of lifted dually, but mine is lifted single wheel

What size are your wheels and tires?

Are dually wheels with size 8 x 16.5 available? Or is the 6 x 16,5 maximum.

I want to use in dually setup 36 inch tires in 16.5 wheel.
