Making a dually
i am turning my 77 f250 into a dually and i was wondering how i can make my front axle ( a dana 44) fit a dually rim. will it fit right on or do i need to modify it in any way

Something like this may work.

OR you could try to adapt a dually hub of some sort.

im goibng to hopefully try the rim tonight but the spacers could definatly work. Do you know if a dually front axle is longer or shorter thn a regualar axle because they have like 4 or 5 inches of spacing on the rotor. wonder if a rotor would work

I believe they are the same axles with spacers for bigger brakes/wheels. I know the wheels are also made to compensate a little also.
Let me know how it goes.

i already had the rearend. just wanted a back up and figured 200 dollars for rear end and rims wasn't to bad. spring perches dont need to be moved to my knowledge
but i have a high boy if that makes any difference
