Dually Conversion
2014 Ford F350 Diesel - Looking to get it converted to a dually to Help in the pulling of a 45 ft fifth wheel / toy hauler trailer.
I live in the Denver Area does any one know of a company that does this type of conversion in our area?

Welcome to FTE!
If you are going to pay to have someone convert a 2014, I think you will find it easier and cheaper to trade or sell that '14 and shop for a dually that was born that way.
Maybe not cheaper....probably cheaper in the long run. 45 footer....maybe move up to a 450 while you're at it.
Swerving suggestion.....

I would agree. Going to a dually and finding a rear end in your current gears cculd be difficult.
Entire new rear sping pack, drive shaft maybe gears and the cut on and then fenders.
Just buy one is more economical.
The only way to do it yourself is if you had the donor for free.

Agree with the above. It is POSSIBLE to do the swap, but it's not really economical these days. Parts are running at a premium, finding the right axle ratios is difficult, shipping is expensive, and if you're not doing the work yourself then labor rates are going going to be costly as well.
In the end it is quicker, easier, and less costly to sell/trade the truck in on what you want.
