I recently purchased a 2009 353 formula just wondering what the thoughts are towing with a 2005 Chevy 2500hd cc/sb diesel 4wd or bigger truck needed
Boat is on a manning tri-axle steel trailer thoughts suggestions Thanks |
Anyone do a srw to drw swap on 2005 chevy 2500hd. I was just wondering which way to do it with the spacers in the rear or actually getting a used axle for the truck

I would think changing trucks would be easier/smarter than modifying.
What has been your experience that you are looking dually? |
Hook it and pull it! You won't have any issue as far as power. I run KMC 20's with Nitto Trail Grapplers, 4000 lb per tire rating and they rock. Would recommend them

Was the dually you used to move the boat longer than your truck? If so, the added wheelbase is what added a lot of that stability. Ford made short bed DRW trucks for many years. Your simplest fix would be to sell your truck and buy one of the Fords. If you do the conversion to your truck, you are going to be married to it for life. http://www.duallyfendersfiberglasstruck.com/ Scroll 3/4 of the way down on that page, and you will see a short bed GM converted to DRW.

I used a reg cab drw to move it. I am thinking about the arrowcraft spacers for the rear axle and factory adapters for the from anyone see an issue with this. Also when the time comes to sell if it's an issue I will remove the conversion and then sell. I already tried a set of larger wheels 20 in and did not see or notice much improvement
Buying a differnt truck now is not an option as I am in the process if building a new house Let me know what you think |
The SRW will pull the 353 fine. Get GOOD tires like Michelins LTX though.

It pulls no problem
Sway is the issue i am trying to stop |
