Honestly unless you get a 550 duals in general are not required. The weight difference between a single and a dual juast aint worth it, besides duals dont track worth a darn in the snow. In your case I understand its just for looks.

Probably why duals aren't a standard on 350 and only 450 on ford's website. Didn't 250s come as a dually option to?

Still love what he did and can't wait to see it with 350 fenders on when it's done

F250's were never offered as a dually i think, but are easy to convert to a dually since there are kits out there for them. Duals are more for stability when hauling from what i've read. But i did it more for looks. My only dislikes about my duals are 1) non rotatable tires but not too worried about it. 2) a lot of wheel hop / axle hop in the rear. My solution to this is probably going to be traction bars or something

Nope, the 350 is the smallest they made with duals

Not at all if he's got bigger tires. I ran 4.88s with 37s in my daily driver with no issues.
