Convert DRW to SRW
Is it difficult to convert a DRW axle to SRW? I've been looking for another truck and see a lot of DRW out there, but I need SRW so I can ride on the beach. I might go for the DRW if it's easy to do the switch, and for not too much $.

Easy to switch, yes. Will it look funny...definitely! The problem is that a regular pickup DRW axle is 4 inches wider than a standard SRW axle. You're two options would be to run just the inner bud wheel, which will look goofy. Or find a factory SRW rim, but you will still have to use the DRW fenders on the bed as the tire will stick out.
Now if its a chassis cab DRW, then simply find a SRW rims and your good to go. The chassis cab axle is the same width as the SRW.
