F350 dually flares and tire rotation
I wanted to add some fender flares to my 2003 F350 dually CC shortbed truck but can't find any for the rear wheels. I bought some on the inter-net but the rear ones were too small. Don't really need them but was trying to improve the looks of our all white truck. Has any one found or added them to their dually on the rear fenders. I have looked at Bushwacker and EGR.
Also was wondering about whenever it comes time to rotate tires on a dually if there was a prefered way to rotate them. Doesn't seem like you could rotate them without taking all of them off of the rims. I havn't looked at my spare but I would assume that it's not on a rim that matches the front ones.

You can rotate the tires on the rims only if you have the XL wheels. If you have the XLT or Lariat wheels, they will all have to be removed from the rims and then remounted on the correct rim. I don't know about the spare because all of our DRW trucks are chasis cabs with dump bodies, but I would think it might be a regular XL wheel so that in the case of a flat it can be mounted in any position.
Can't help ya on the flares though.
Hope this helps.

The spare is a plain steel wheel, as are the inner duals. I can't see spending the money to dismount/remount all the tires just to rotate them. Whatever small gain in mileage you get by rotating will be more than offset by the cost of all that remounting. I plan on leaving mine where they are until they wear out (maybe switching the fronts side to side if I notice uneven wear).
I haven't looked for fender flares, but did put some Husky mud flaps all around on my truck. Helps to keep mud off the running boards and lessens the amount of dirt sprayed down the side. The black mudflaps look nice on my white truck.
