Convert Your Pickup To A Dually

Convert Your Pickup To A Dually PICKUPS Miscellaneous 27-3-25 Need to improve traction and stability on your pickup or Suburban? Or maybe you'd like to get rid of that sway when towing a trailer? A dual wheel conversion kit from Arrowcraft Products, Royal Oak, Michigan, might solve your problem. The company says they can increase tire life, too. Arrowcraft kits are available for Ford, Dodge, Chevrolet and GMC trucks and Chevy and GMC Suburbans. Included in the basic dual kit are new dual style wheels (you can get steel wheels, steel with stainless wheel liners, or aluminum) and adapters that allow duals to be mounted onto your existing axle with no modifications. This kit is all you'll need for flatbeds or utility bodies and others where you don't need a lot of flare. For most standard pickups, though, you'll want to add fiberglass flares to your fenders to allow for the dual wheels. And if you want, you can finish off your new look with matching front wheels. Basic steel wheels come in gray and can be painted to any color you desire. Fender flares, which give you a factory dually look, are ready to sand and paint to match your vehicle. All wheel and adapter kits come with the necessary mounting hardware and do-it-yourself instructions. Prices vary, but a basic Dodge kit sells for under $500. Company sources say even the high end kits with aluminum wheels are under $1,000.
