mud tires on a dually

i have a 1980 F350 dually 4x4, and i am looking at the 34x10.50x16 Super Swamper LTB's. they are like the TSL's, but more aggressive. would those tires fit on the stock rims? and will they rub against eachother in the rear-end? has anyone else done this? thanks.

I am wonder what lift would be sufficient for 34's or 35's with no scrubbing when fully loaded. What type of replacement wheels needed, spacers, ect. and where to find the info. on it all.

try "WheelAdapter.com", they sell wheel spacers ,etc.also remember,with spacers and mud tires you may be comprimising you payload capacities.many mud tires are a lower load rating, and ply than regular truck tires. spacers tend to put more stress on axles,wheel bearings, etc.the tires sidewalls should never rub on each other,ever, not even when the truck is loaded to its max payload.if they do, your not leagal,and you will most likely have a tire failure. just cover all the aspects before doing this change.ive built and owned custom dually trucks for over 20 years and this is what i have learned. hope this helps-billy

Not sure about the swampers, but my neighbor has BFG mud terrains and they look mean and work great!
