I have a stupid idea. Instead of trying to find rims that are the same but one is 6 lug and the back is 8 lug why not convert the front to a straight axle and lift it. You would have a sweet mudder if you did that. Lol. Just an idea

Yes, you will have a one of a kind truck. And when you go to sell it, you are going to take a very bad hit unless you can find a like minded buyer. A dealership will crucify you on the trade if they would take it at all.

And, I've made contact with several companies, planning on going with 4" spacers just incase, b/c I am a little worried there may be rubbing if I go any smaller up against the shock. he quoted me $500, which isn't too bad, I think. And converting the front end to a SA isn't in the near future or even in my mind. I wouldn't know where to begin with that. Also, does anyone know if Ford made the 2009+ daully fenders available with a gas cap cut out, like that goes around the gas cap kind of like the dodge megacab short bed dualies are?

I've seen a few Suburban dually conversions and I think there are companies that deal in that sort of thing. Perhaps it'd be useful to see how they do it.
Obviously, not a Ford.. but it could be a start.

Mid to late July, going to Florida the end of this month and don't want to have this project going on during it. I will try to have everything scheduled and parts ordered though so when I do get back everything is here and ready to be started on.
