Just ordered a set for my 05 from you guys on Friday. The rear inners showed up this morning. Can’t wait to get them on my truck and see the stance. It’s a short wheel base 350, gonna look pretty mean!

Awesome! We appreciate the business!

Why are they (and many others) calling this a super single conversion!? A super single conversion is changing your rear duals to a really wide single.

@DuallyWheels 6 ай бұрын

Yes, the old traditional version of what a "super single" is would be converting your rear duals to one wide single. It started with military grade vehicles, campers, semi-trucks and transitioned to daily drivers. In the current aftermarket wheel world, the term "super single" started to be used years ago to define the more common practice of running a single front on a standard dually truck by pulling the adapter off. Something that was started by American Force when they offered to custom build forged wheels with a single front option as opposed to traditional dual....and is now offered by almost all manufacturers and called "super single". The older traditional "super single" in the rear was done for practical use - improving off-road performance, traction, reduced resistance. The term "super single" that is used by manufacturers like Fuel, DDC, American Force, KG1 Forged, etc. refers to something that is purely visual for the style. It's all cosmetic with a different look for the front.

Does the super single affect turning radius? Is the super single a considerable amount more expensive?

@DuallyWheels 3 ай бұрын

The single option wouldn't affect turning radius any more than a standard dually would - you just need to be sure that you get the correct wheel width, just like you would on a traditional non-dually wheel...typically 9 wide for stock or leveled, 10 wide for leveled or lifted and 12 wide and up for aggressively lifted trucks. Singles are not more expensive. In fact, they will typically end up being a less expensive option since non-dually wheels are less expensive than dually wheels.

What is the benefit of going with super single?

@DuallyWheels 3 ай бұрын

It's really all cosmetic and for looks. There is no proven benefit as far as handling, driveability or load capacity, although some customers believe the wider footprint of a single front wheel that you can get in 9, 10 or 12 wide vs the 6.5 or 8.25 of a dually wheel, makes for a wider wheelbase up front providing more stability when hauling or towing loads.

Can you swap out the hub for a single wheel 3500 instead ?

@DuallyWheels 17 күн бұрын

By pulling off the front factory adapter, your front hub is now essentially a single wheel 3500. No conversion needed, just remove the adapter that converts it to a dually and now it's the single wheel 3500 spec.

What tire did you used for front

@DuallyWheels 23 күн бұрын

Same tire is used on the front and rear - it doesn't change. It is a 35" Nitto Recon Grappler

@bopbop1863 23 күн бұрын

So you put the same width and back even though the front is 3.75 inches wider

@DuallyWheels 22 күн бұрын

@@bopbop1863 Correct - if it was a non-dually truck, you can put 12.50 wide tires on a standard 9, 10 or 12 inch wide wheel. For a dually, you still can put 12.50 wide tires on a standard 8.25 inch wide wheel. There is no reason to change the tire size on a dually based on running a super single or not.

Why would I do that? Now I have to carry two spare tires?

@-ouv 4 ай бұрын

Ohh that's a good point.

@DuallyWheels 3 ай бұрын

If you're putting aftermarket wheels on your dually, then you would need to carry multiple spares no matter what since aftermarket dually wheels are not interchangeable like factory wheels and factory-type options. Your front wheel (whether it is a single or a dual), rear outer wheel and rear inner wheel are all unique to each position and cannot be flipped to use in multiple positions like factory styles.
