Dually front spacers on back ?

[JeffHK5]

Just standing in my shop looking at my front DRW GM 60 and thinking " with a little work I
could use those spacers on the back! They are built to take a beating,yes. They appear to be hubcentric (?),yes. There are cheaper than alu/or steel aftermarket spacers,yes. And will add 4.875 per side to match the front . Now tell me if it has been done ,or if it can't be done. Or if its just plain dumb! Has anybody ever seen a dually spacer break while offroading? Thanks Jeff

the 60 frt is all one hub , the newer ifs stuff is bolt on style. and to make the rear line up with a single frt its 3" total for spacers 1.5 each.

Hubs

My 60 is from a 82 cab and chassis it has bolt on hub spacers . They bolt on from inside
the rotors and they are 4.875 wide. I bet they could work on the back

Thanks Jeff

I was thinking about the very same idea.

my 60 frt was a dully. and thay were the whole hub. bit thay look like a spacer.

thay did some diffrent stuff at times so mabey yours is like that. can you get some pics so we can see them, just for the heck of it.

it is a 3" difference between srw and drw hubs. Not 4.875

Hubs

Sweet K30 I think you are correct , it was just an idea. I got my DRW 70 HD today and my next project will be to put SRW 14 bolt hubs on to get the 75-76" width.
