ok here is the situation i ahve a 95 ram ext cab long bed sitting needing some mior repairs, (future project) little story i was driving it and blew up a tire, whole center thread came loose(rim still has both side walls still attached) so center wrapped around wheel well and wasted the bed side completely, well in also wrecked the insdie of it near the taillamp too, bent it up and damaged round the taillight. and other side is cracked and rusted and spot welded as rusting dfrom a crappy repair job when i got t boned in it 2 days after buying it( damn females) how hard is it to miss a red and white ram? well n e ways so bed is wasted need a new one, well the problem in a 8 ft bed and i can't seem to find one near me, but i can find dually beds all day and 6 ft beds, i am not chopping for a 6 ft. Should i find a dually axle and swap it in and do a dually bed? but what do i need for the front to do the swap to dually wheels? need help, do you want to see a bd ram dually on semis in the scene?

^ that... or im not sure on teh dodges.. but the hub/rotor is all one peice on most duallies. so the swap for teh front shouldnt be a big deal.

well at $300 a tire for six months use (depending on driving habits and how often) thats to expensive for me.

I'd look for a doner vehical that you could part out to offset the cost of rebuilding yours
