you can go about 4.5" on 22"s. The rear fenders will need to be stretched up, possible outward depending on what wheels you run.

3/4 ton rear is wider cause of it being a single rear wheel axle. (assuming its a 14 bolt) You use the axle tube, and axles and bolt on the dually hubs and that would be narrower.

This link is mostly right, some of the axle widths are not 100%, but it gives you a idea on what to do.
