Default Re: what does it take to turn her into a duelly!?

I like the idea. But keep in mind that you'll be adding about 100 lbs of undamped weight to the rear of a 3000 lb truck. It would be very unpleasant/dangerous to drive unloaded without serious modification to your suspension. And like Chuck points out there will be No increase in payload since your tire rating is NOT the bottleneck. Ultimately it is the way your frame is constructed.

The only practical advantage to doing this would be increased traction. Which is probably why I like the idea. But that could be gained through getting really good tires.
