If you find a donor dually it will make your life a lot easier.....the dually fenders can be bolted on your current bed by measuring and drilling new holes.....the rear axle in your current truck is classified as a SRW axle....the wheel stubs aren't long enough to bolt up dually wheels and its a good bit narrower than a standard dually axle.....good news is the leaf spring perches are same and a Dually axle will bolt under your truck.....the front spindles on your truck are the same as a dually but the hubs are different.....you can buy new hubs/rotors or find some donor ones off a dually.....calipers and all are same just need hubs....if you want to bag your truck on semi wheels you already have all the parts you would need on your truck now to tuck semi's

if you plan to bag it then keep your stock rear laying around and swap it back in when you bag it and it will get those semi wheels under the fenders....thats what i have under my truck now

Sorry for all the questions guys but I think im at the riight place to get them answered...but since I needed dually hub n rotors in the front n ima use my same axle with adapters in the bck to not need my fenders widend the question is would I need c20 8 lug adapters since the back staid the same or is my c20 axle from the back the same as a c30 axle like bolt pattern...so I know when im ready to order adapters
