I sold my F250 limited 6.7 a few weeks ago and have been looking at a few duallies since it would be better suited pulling our toy hauler when we need to move it as well as I've always like the look of them. The way the truck market is there is no way I'm buying a new truck now, so I have found a super low mileage loaded up cat eye 3500 one owner truck. I also have liked the look of the 22" 10 lug wheel conversions on these trucks. I have talked to a few dealers that can set the rear wheels up so they will stay tucked inside the fender well. I would probably go with a 2/4 lowering package with air lift bags in the rear. So my question is, has anyone on here had any experience with the 10 lug conversions on a dually and towing with it? I have read a few forums and saw plenty pulling toy haulers and such, but really wanted to see if any one on here had any experience with this style setup. Lets hear your opinions good or bad.

I have ran them a lot before. Make sure you buy quality adapters. Don’t buy the Amazon cheap ones. I’ve have ran multiple different combinations but have decided to not run them anymore. My current set up is the kodiak with the direct bolt 8 lug 22.5s. The problem know a days is insurance company’s are getting way smarter and if a big accident happens while towing they are doing there homework and if big wheels and adapters are on they are starting to say brakes were over taken. I absolutely love the look of them and there are tons of guys running them and prolly will never have any problems. Customs cut ones are really cool!!

Current wheels

Cut a little larger pattern

I did 19.5 direct bolt ons on my 09 gmc.... truck is for sale too

IMO i would go with a set of custom wheels with the correct bolt pattern. JTX forged, american force lots of other companies make a good quality wheel vs running adapters

IMHO, I would go with direct bolt on from American Force or similar.
This topic has been discussed in the past. The worst thing you are doing to your truck in general is drastically increasing rotating mass. If you can eliminate the steel adapters and reduce associated rotating/un-sprung mass, your truck will brake and ride better.
A brake upgrade is a MUST. I highly recommend the Z36 kit from PowerStop for ANY truck that tows. I'm running it on both of my current trucks, and several previous ones.

I appreciate the feedback so far and there are some good points made here as well. I did get to drive a cat eye 3500hd with milled down alcoa's on street tire with a small lowering kit and it rode / drove amazing. It was way better than the factory ride. There are so many options out there, but one thing on any setup will be the tire have to be tucked under the fender well.

Not the topic you asked about but you may find this info usefully. You mentioned cat eyed so I’m assuming you’re referencing an older duramax. Prior to 04, they had injector issues. 04.5 and 05 had overheating issues. It’s been a while but I think one reason was air under the hood circulating instead of entering and exiting. Another the intake inlet at the turbo restricts air flow. I had an 04.5 overheat and blew a head gasket.
06-07 should be good.
good luck.

You are correct on the older duramax I am referring to and they have been always been my favorite body style duramax.I have owned the duramax trucks since they appeared in 2001. Each version of the duramax has had some little issue through the years. I have found a nice lower mileage one owner stock 3500 HD duramax that has been meticulously maintained with a open check book and has had the issues of this motor taken care of before they became a problem. I really could not believe this truck was all original at first since it looks like it came out of the showroom. I just wanted to find a nice older diesel for a tow rig, as well as I just can't justify a 80k truck just sitting in the garage waiting on a weekend to pull the boat any longer.

Are those 19.5 wheels and what's the amount of drop 3/5? I may know of a person that may be interested in it as well. Can you message me a contact number if you don't mind. Thanks
