Dually swap Done! True 3500 Truck now

[@HammerPowered]

The mega cab flares are money. I love how that turned out.

[@georgeenriquez612]

That dually swap came out looking pretty sweet Sam! It’s nice seeing the 04 getting some attention and love. Definitely a ripper and looking forward to seeing it do some heavy towing in the future.

[@JIH_III]

That thang look fancy now!! I never thought about the difference in dually flares until this video, and those mega cab dually ones look so much better

[@VBELTandSON]

Right! Way cleaner look glad I held out for mega flares

[@IManOPERATOR]

Whoever thumbs down this video wish they can dually swap their Prius 😂

[@elcaminomant]

Have always been a fan of the Mega Cab flares vs the regular super poofy dually bedsides. Looks good Sam!

[@Roxyboarder419]

The flares look awesome, much better than a regular dually bed. Disconnecting the sway bar links will allow the axle to drop a little bit more. It helps a lot when working alone.

[@ZachSav]

Great job, but man the front wheel fitment needs some help. Spacers, new wheels, or pop the flares off.

[@nicknassano8271]

Definitely have to agree with you. Rear end looks amazing....I’d either keep the front flares and add spacers or rip the front flares off completely!!

[@Itsa_Mea]

On my rear springs I took out 2 of those small spacers on the bottom and moved them to the top of the leaf pack. By doing so it lowered the back without having to change anything else. A Riv-nut kit is one of the must haves for any shop. In some cases nothing else could do the job.

[@jdub229r]

I put a flat bed & duals on my 04 F250. Towing is super stable, added overload bags. Still need to change the front wheels to offset hubs & it needs a front leveling kit.

[@danikael2815]

I recently found your channel and i cant stop watching your content and this dually conversion is like my drug watching diy stuff like this is so awesome anything that has to do with custom builds are just awesome and its got me literally looking into youtube for more why i dont know i already have a dually and now i want a long bed to make into a dually

[@danikael2815]

@@dixiemae5042 a binge worthy channel for sure

[@jaybirdls1]

I don’t know why you need ANOTHER dually, but she does look really good!! 👍🏻

[@kctyphoon]

I really wish i had this this guys energy.

[@OnefastAZfarmtruck]

Me too. I have to find motivation to to an oil change lol

[@kctyphoon]

@@mwilliamshs interesting. I wonder how youd feel after a good back injury and 20 years of pain killers. Get back to me.

[@kctyphoon]

@@OnefastAZfarmtruck i know the feeling. I blame a lack of a garage on my lack of work.

[@tu6198]

best dually fenders ever made, i wish they would still use them on the newer trucks.

[@donovanmclaughlin4709]

I have been trying to imagine how it was going to look but that looks way better than I was thinking love it !!

[@CPSteveMiller]

Definitely needs that 2" spacer up front to be complete! Other than that it's perfect!

[@VBELTandSON]

Agreed. I was going to put them on but never got around to it. I’ll try Them out sometime soon

[@IntenseKustoms]

Was thinking the exact same thing. Other than that. It looks great.

[@iowamatt2519]

Nice job! I turned a chevy 2500 into a dually with a bolt on wheel assembly and bolt on flares. Worked well, but in the long run it robbed some power and miles from it.

[@mikestrucks]

Awesome work you two 💪🏻👍🏻 she looks so much better ! I have to get me the same spring compressor 🧐👌🏻

[@colinlawrence2186]

That is an awesome job i have a 2012 .4th jen 3500 SRW and am won'ting to convert to DRW but hear in NW FLORIDA it's impossible to find parts for this conversion I'll keep looking awesome videos i have followed you for years keep them coming God bless you and stay safe out there 🙋‍♂️ 🇬🇧

[@jeffcoon9506]

I have always like the smaller fenders. Looks good

[@cavaleru31]

Hey Sam, a bit of paint in the bed holes be for you put the metal plug in them would help a long way with the bed rust. The truck looks awesome now!

[@jeeperzr2]

Looks awesome! I had always liked those dually flares much more.

[@jamesmcrae5674]

Change the gauge lights to white leds from super bright leds, and it will change the green to blue. I found it to be easier on the eyes especially at night.

[@Overkill14]

Mega cab flares definitely hit the spot on that truck. I smell a new dump trailer hauler in this truck

[@scottarvidson8585]

Just got confirmation my 40ft fmax 216 will be at dealer this Friday and I can pickup on Monday! Thx for all your content. Def helped me pick my final product!! I ordered in march it’s been a long wait but the time has come. So hype.

[@paultasker9759]

What a improvement. The stance is perfect IMO. Well done.

[@petergozinya7290]

ALWAYS preferred the mega cab flares! Much cleaner look. No need for the whole bedside to be flared out. The first gen flares were mint also

[@nathanjerdman]

Those flares should have been on all the trucks! Love the look.

[@tylerjerome3317]

You should get another right side fender flare for the left side so you can get rid on that gas door dent in the flare

[@royscarbrough3589]

I think you do need the 6 inch spacers. That truck looks GOOD

[@woos31]

Almost looks like the front wheels could be spaced out a pinch more to match how the dual tires fill out the flares, but that's my OCD 🤣! Turnt out damn good Sam, you guys nailed er.

[@denistaramasso9724]

I think ram 🐏 should have put those fenders on the new trucks 🚚. The old 70s ram 🐏 trucks had small rear dually rear fenders. Reminds me of the old days. She is looking good 👍. Keep up the great work.

[@nate4036]

I tell you a trend here in the south east, take dually adapters off the front to run a normal front wheel. They use 255/80-17 tires on the back and 285/70-17 on the front. Little extra traction on the front.

[@nate4036]

My bad, just noticed the 19.5s

[@gates_e2264]

That truck looks good. After seeing that rear fender those fit that style good

[@jordandaniel3025]

Looking good can't wait to see if cruising through town

[@bongzonthebeat]

The truck came out badass! I now know what i need to do on my 03 3500 got a vibration at 70-75 time for shim swap in the rear axle

[@donschaefer9442]

Looks good. Take the fender flares off the front and don’t forget to double check those u bolts

[@justinbaker3868]

That’s a really nice truck it has more use out of it having a dually swap.

[@drewlangley09able]

Looks great man, just gotta wire up your marker lights on the fenders and she'll be done

[@seanuvan]

Love it Dude, feels like a 1st gen nod. Know your roots 👍🏼

[@shanereilly9309]

Have you ever thought about a low profile service box? Your work is awesome as ever!

[@rockingkvideos3160]

Well done, looks awesome 😎 thanks for sharing Sam👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@VBELTandSON]

Thanks Ken! Hey I forgot did you get a new bed for your 7.3?

[@rockingkvideos3160]

Still looking, found a lot of junk and a lot of long beds and ext.cab beds. Mine is an 02 crew cab short bed. Let me know if you find on.

[@wwflguy]

Looks great, sounds good, should serve your needs well

[@powerstrokediesel99]

Absolutely loved the way this dually turned out 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@sprucegoose1016]

Did a mighty fine job 😎

[@andrewnemecek4898]

That looks amazing with the megaflare

[@hammertime1208able]

The front axle is the same on a single wheel as is a dually. Same goes for the rear axle minus, the hubs and axle shaft. In my opinion that would have been less work to swap hubs and shafts then pull the whole axle its self and deal with. When I converted my truck, I wish I would have thought about the mega cab flairs though! That would have been so much easier. They are easier to find, easier to paint, and easier to install then a whole new bed! Good job!

[@VBELTandSON]

Yeah I wanted the whole Rear end for the limited slip and thank you

[@jamesmatthewbryan1902]

If you decide to paint the truck, wallys fenders I think has the mega cab flairs with out the gas cut out. $900 for the pair.

[@rayvonp]

She looks good, I wish Dodge would have gone with a factory setup like that

[@issaccarrizales1989]

Nice! I also have a 3rd gen 3500 SRW but short bed. I plan to do the same.

[@sb7media230]

I used to see the gray truck that bed came off of all the time at the track in Lakeport small world lol

[@jeffbailey7765]

The looks awesome especially with the fender flares

[@jguccijacgucci9160]

The way you started that fire

[@collingray6368]

It’s something how the mega cab fenders look like shit on a short box but on a long box 👌🏼

[@backfill9183]

Looks good, turn in them steering stops. To bad you couldn’t find a fender without the fuel cap “dent”.

[@decentgarage]

The 04 is looking 🔥

[@gjponsford4892]

Black flares, black rockers, black grill, Yeah Buddy!

[@urcousinfromboston9052]

she came out Purrttyyy Sam, nice work! Shame what cali is doing to all your Diesel engines, send those rust free babies east for top dollar!!

[@TreachourusJdogg]

Man this is making me want to dually swap my 04, only problem is it's a 2500 so I'd feel like a poser. Hahaha

[@Moosecop32]

That is one beautiful Stormtrooper truck! I love it.

[@VBELTandSON]

😂😂

[@Briceland107]

I’d put your single wheel fronts back on. I like when they put single wheel front on a dually makes them look fat and tough in the front also

[@xavierpayne7179]

I hope it turns out well when you fill in the fender flare spot for the gas cap.

[@briannation8038]

Looks nice! Way better than conventional dually flares. Looks like the fronts need a spacer though.

[@VBELTandSON]

4 inch spacers up there. I’m scared to as more

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Nice job on the truck.

[@stevengullison5123]

Good evening, looking great, from Canada

[@flatblackandy]

Mega cab flares look so much better than 3rd gen flares

This is awesome! Very nice look.

[@jrwildharber4038]

Check McMaster carr for rivenuts. They have every size, also they typically deliver next day.. nice video, truck looks badass.

It sure is sweet!

[@ChocolateThunder357]

Wow. Jaw-dropping, this thing looks GOOD!

[@TheMoparGarage]

Love that truck. 04/05 are my favorite 3rd Gen. Wasn’t a fan of the older style 03 steering wheel and hated the little 06+ redesign

[@VBELTandSON]

Couldn’t have said it better myself. My exact thoughts right there

That's a good looking truck damn

[@user-gz4vb2rf5c]

Looks great Sam!!!!

Great job guys. You do Ausome work. 👍

[@kctyphoon]

I have no idea what anyone could possibly “pick apart” about this. That truck looks sick. Haters gonna hate i guess.

[@kenmcclure5623]

Love the dually swap!

[@johnhalter7287]

I have always owned 3500 Dodge 4x4 since 91, but single rear tires. I pull heavy with my 04.5 and wouldn’t want duals ever. If I found a nice dually I would definitely take it to single rear. In snow they plain suck, when you need tires you spend a lot more, in mud they suck, at drive up windows they suck, the plus’s are definitely not worth it to me. I pull a 24,000 GVW gooseneck and run 35’s. On my 91 if I still had it I would remove springs and install airbags. It rode awful but I real liked that truck. I really never liked the look but different strokes for different folks.

[@patrickbeatty3444]

Good work! Maybe CP Steve never ran the wedge/shim on his swap. Might be why he has consistently had driveline issues and carrier bearing blow outs. ?? Good shiz

[@brandoncaldwell95]

The bearings have been due to a bad driveshaft that launched itself on the highway. The new driveshaft has been ok overall with the bearing it has as he runs a cheap one. Think he did talk about the driveline vibration and the angle being off in another video as he is a 4x4 with a rwd axles swap.

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Heck yeah Sam. I like it 💪🏻💪🏻👊

[@thefumminspagerpope4452]

[@noefernandez6250]

I liked the first generation of the 6.7 powerstroke duallies cause their fenders weren’t as huge as the ram or GM/Chevy fenders. The mega cab flairs this are way better.

[@paulrollinsjr.1845]

In my 05 it's the same thing never made sense. I was told to go check with a rear end shop and get a limited slip from a Chevy for about 200

[@nikdavis2404]

Mega cab dually flares was a great call! Definitely need a super single or non dually fronts.

[@chrisspence3216]

I’m surprised you have not put a Lift in your shop

[@chasemcmurray3737]

The front tires gotta be pushed out a little. It would look much better.

[@kyles234]

A single wheel 3500 is not a 1 ton. It is a joke. Only duallies are a true 1 ton. I have 2 07 duallies and I've wondered about these mega cab dually flares and how they fit. I like the reduced blind spot

[@birdhunter2754]

All that work to pull that little trailer. 😊 i do drive fords. The v10s.

[@VBELTandSON]

Had to make sure the wheels didn’t fall off lol. Towed heavy in the next video

[@gtr1952]

Very cool!! Great job Sam!! 8) --gary

[@brandonm6052]

I always wanted to use the same mega fenders

[@xotic8617]

U need to hook up the side markers as well

[@2020HotShotTruckingLLC]

The Fords are the same with the dually adapters on the front hubs.

[@anthonycasados9417]

So the truck is 4x4 and the dually axle is from a 2 wheel drive truck and that’s the only reason you used the Shims? If you got a 4x4 dually rear end would you still have to do the shims? Or would it be a straight swap?
