Ok I have a 97 Chevy dually and want to turn it into a phantom dually what parts do I need to find to do this that will work and the truck will be lowered at the same time with a 6/8 drop and the only thing I will be hauling around is wife and kids? Please any help will be great cannot find anyone local to help me figure this out and since I work in the oilfield I only have time to buy the parts so trying to buy everything and then take a few days off to have the work done on it

Swap out all your 1 ton stuff for 1/2 ton parts and get a flip kit,spindles,coils, and notch.

So its that easy and the same year half ton correct or does it matter I'm new to the dually scene so I might ask alot of dumb questions so please have patients

My truck is a 3500 but has had the suspension and rear end swapped out for 1/2 ton stuff. The rear in my truck is a 14 bolt sf out of a 90 454 ss truck.

So if you already have a dually, why do you want to make it a phantom dually? What are you looking to achieve? Do you not want the dually fenders at all? and just make it a crew cab fleetside? Or keep the dually fenders and switch over to non dually wheels?

I am wanting to keep the dually fenders but want to go with a set of larger tires and rims in the back if there is a way to achieve that without swapping over to 1/2 ton stuff I would go that way. I am wanting to go the whole Pro-street look. Way to expensive to buy alot of tires when i can just buy 2 large tires and then front tires. I really dig the Phantom style trucks.

If you were close by I would swap you my stuff for yours. My truck was born a dually and the original owner changed everything over.

yeah your alittle ways away but that would be awesome being I live in Texas you would think there is alot of Dually guys around to help me out but I havent seen many slammed duallies around

No I have a few other cars and being I work in the Oilfield I have to have a 4x4 also so no it stays at home most of the time
