Default Dual Wheel Tire Adapters For Rangers?

Has anyone heard of the dual wheel adapters that jc whitney sells for ford rangers? If so is thier any increase in bed weight carrying capacity due to the wider wheel base in the back? Then comes the next question, how would one make fenders that are like dualy fenders for the ranger?

the better question would be WHY would you do that to a ranger?

1. it would look ridiculously out of place
2. in order to make the dual wheel actually funtional to handle the added weight, you'd have to beef up the suspention/frame beyond reason.
3. in order to haul the added weight of your beefed up suspention/frame/increased payload you would need to beef up your entire powertrain package to that of a fullsize truck.
4. by the time you completed everything above, you could have bought a newer/better fullsize truck that is CAPABLE of handling the added payload in the first place.
