I'm sure there is a good reason why you want to do this, but I honestly have to say, that is one the best looking dually I have ever seen. If it were mine, I wouldn't change a thing!

Thanks guys

The reason for me wanting to switch back… 3 reasons really

1.
-It is a ROYAL pain to get it in and out of my garage. I have 1/4" clearance on either rear tire fitting it in the door. I am just looking to ruin a tire or my garage.

2.
-When converting it to a dually, I wanted to raise the GVW to a dually's GVW(10,000lbs) but the DMV will not allow me to do that(without a certified shop installing the axle). And with the added weight of the dually parts(2 extra tires, 2 extra wheels, bigger brakes, fenders, front hubs, etc), it actually LIMITS how much weight I can actually haul since it is STILL a F250s GVW

3.
I like running a cap in winter, PERIOD
and I HATE how this truck looks with the cap and dually

I see the problem with the GVW. That sucks. I agree about the cap too.....a dually just doesn't look right with a cap. It will still be a damn good looking truck as a single rear wheel, but I love the look of the short bed dually and the colors.

Well if anyone is interested, PM me since price cannot be discussed on the open forum but I think it is cheap for all the pieces necessary to make a SRW 4wd truck into dually

What criteria does this "certified" garage need to have... In Maine we just have state police look at truck for safety and it's done.

It's an awesome truck, but for the reasons you want to convert back, completely understandable.
