Any insight would be appreciated.
Pretty much requires getting the full-width axle from an F350 to do it right. Might as well get the bed while you're at it - otherwise you have to cut a huge chunk of sheetmetal off the outer skin on each side and install the fiberglass flares to accomodate the dual wheels - so they don't rub your wheelwell openings.
That's what was done to the second truck listed in my signature - rear axle and bed swapped in from an F350. Everything fits perfect with pretty much no modifications....
