where are you going ot find a dually axle that weighs less than 700 lbs? the d70's are massive the sterlings are less, but still you don't have the abilty to stop the thing.you would burn the engine up fast.

It's not my idea of what I'd do with the time and money, but if it's what you want to do, I'd say go for it. It'll be different, that's for sure. (I wouldn't expect that the mods would make it more capable as a hauler though. Probably less capable.)

Well...if you're going to go as far as think up duallies for a Ranger, how about tracks? 
Do you mean one axle, 4 tires, or two axles under the bed of the Ranger instead of one. I don't know, something about it made me think that's what you might mean...but what do I know.
How about just a massive engine swap? If you're willing to do the fab work for a dually, I'm sure it's not too much of a stretch to fit a V8 under the hood.
