    srw to drw

    Are spacers needed to clear the tire from rubbing on the frame when converting a srw to a dually? I was thinking the rear axle will be narrower for a srw truck. I know a hub spacer for the front is needed to run the dually rim. Anyone know any of this for sure?

    NP205 question

    It seems to me to be loud. but it has oil.. 75000 miles on it.. maybe its just the speed it spins with the short tires and tall gears.. 456 and a 235/85/16

    Running speaker wire to the rear single cab speakers

    If your going to the hassle of running new wire.. installing a good set up.. don't use normal wire for your speakers, Use speaker wire. Solder and heat shrink the connections also.. 50 feet of decent speaker wire cost me 12 bucks.
