Is there any mods that have to be done to add dual rear wheels to a single rear wheel truck?

Rear axle, dually wheels, dually spacers for the front, change bed in rear or trim and mount new flares, lug nuts.

I'm just wanting to add them to the back so i can haul more or get back to the pulling scene. So I couldn't just add the wheels to the back? I would have to change the axle? I'm tryin to get it like Nikko in that one video

I would say if you can find dually wheels, and the studs are long enough on your axle to bolt both wheels on, it should work.

Dually axle is about 3" longer. Niko just bolted his duals to his SRW axle.

If u want it to be like niko u will need 2 inch wheel spacers for the rear.

You can add 2.5" spacers to the rear axle with 17" wheels dont know if the gen two trucks can do this with out hitting the brakes.

Looks good Mike! Are the fenders pretty straight forward to install on that bed?

NO easier to switch beds. I took the fenders off though.

Mike, I have a buddy that did the same thing. His truck is red though. You have probably seen him before pullin a tractor at zellwood.
