Anyone watch that shipping wars show? The one episode where the 10 lug conversion shears all the studs off the dodge and goes rolling away.
Yeah I am not a fan of wheel adapters, I've mentioned it a few times on here and talked about what can happen. The shipping wars show was a PERFECT example!

My brother has a complete F-450 suspension with dual rear wheels on his '02 v-10.
He modified the F-350 fenders to fit on the rear door and has remote door handles on the bottomside. Looks much better than this one. Will snap some pics this weekend and post.

Ridiculous to the highest degree. IIRC an aluminum 22.5" wheel weighs somewhere around 40 lbs, and the tire weighs about 120 lbs. That kind of addition to unsprung weight would make it ride like a grain truck.
Absolutely no purpose to a conversion though.

Heck, you want to see a first class dually conversion? Search back a few years in the van forum. Some feller in the Great White North (that's Canada) put a dually axle under a short Econoline cargo van. Real sharp.
