dual rear setups

[dracing70]

wanted some ideas for setting up my srw to duals and also who sells the setups and or parts for it. was gonna do some custom spacers and wheels but im concerned about width issues as far as the rules go? although most rules do not state a width measurement.

i thought about calling him, but i figured he would have it on his site but there is nothing i can find.

He custom builds them & they are sweet. I did our own & they came out awesome but if I had to do it over again I'd just give him my CC & not be bothered

When I went to dual wheel setup I just used OEM steel dually wheels and aluminium spacers off eBay. Lasted a couple seasons on a 2.6 truck with no signs of ware.

Yeah if my measurements r correct u need a 3 inch spacer and 17 inch wheels min. To clear the caliper.

I used 16 inch wheels but did have to grind on the Caliper so I wouldn't rub.

Call Jason. He sells alot of custom dual setups for most of the trucks running in ohio. He uses real racing rims that are really light with custom backspacing. Can also widen your steel rims.

That definitely will work. Mine only lasted about 15 hooks and I bent the spindles. Depending on tracks and conditions they can last longer. Also, depending on wheel and tire width you may need a small spacer between the wheels. Some org have a limit of 102" wide.

Thanks for all info

Where did you get your GM 16" wheels? I know the older dodge 16" wheels hit the brake caliber even with a 3" spacer on first.

Got em used from a buddy. They def were GM wheels cuz they wouldn't fit on a dodge hub centric ring. 05 3500 SRW housing.

What do people do about beefing up the axle tubes to keep them from bending?

reinforcement trusses that span the axle

Also, drw tubes are thicker too. Performance Pros offers a ton of hybrid parts like spindles as well. Lots of options available.

This was exactly how mine was set up

Kinda off topic, but when adding the duals, what way does the axle normally bend?
