Hey, check this out, its a list of what to look for when buying a new superduty.

Also, in regards to your DRW question, to convert it to a dually you would need a new axle. Dana 80 I believe.

To make a DRW out of it you can get all the adapters from American T.A.W. For around 600.0 then all you will need is the wheels. No need to do a rear end swap or front swap.

Yes, you could do that, but it wont increase your payload or towing capabilities at all. All it will accomplish is aesthetics.
