ok well im new to the whole dually scene. but i have been around sport trucks for years, i own a 1985 GMC 4 door dually with the 454. well what im getting at is what do i do to the rear end to make it lay out on 22'' and still keep the fenders the way they are?
the truck is getting bagged in 2 weeks, not in the biggest rush to get the 22's just yet, (but i do know where to get a ton of them and i do i have a person to mill them) but i really dont know what to do, i was thinkin maybe a cab and chassis rearend? does that sound about right or no???

lol so please fill me in on all this once again noob here lol

on 22's i still think you will have to raise the fenders when just lay'd out

theirs a couple of ways to go you can run the c&c rear end and the std 22 wheel or you can leave the wide rear end in and spend a few extra bucks and buy the tow nasty wheels that fit in the fenders if you run the c&c rear you won't need to rework the rear fenders look at ben shady's truck with the 24's under it

dont you have to run the 16inch inner wheel, other wise you would need to narrow the frame??? Maybe??

16" inner wheels = Bald tires.. Don't cheap out it'll cost more in the long run. I've got 4 24's under the rear of mine and didn't do sheit but put a c&c rear in it. It leaves no room for bags but it's easier than having huge ass fenders in the rear when your in tight traffic.
