standard dually truck fenders will work on a burb where they overlap the rear doors you just have to sand /grind them off a 1/8 of a inch and the gas door I just molded a door in that I cut out of a old bed side and put in longer gas hoses I did one 15 years ago and I got a lot of lookers

Good to know!

How did you mount them? Did you drill access holes inside the rear body to bolt the fenders to the quarters?

Duallies suck off road! Cause they pick up rocks and **** in between the tires. And sometimes its a real bitch trying to get the stuff out. Especially when you have a fender wrapped around your duallies. At the very least carry a 5 LB one hand sledge with your truck at all times.

I know it is :Insane: but drill the mounting holes in the body and get the filler plugs from the dually bed you take the finders off of . and I have a friend with a friend that has a 4x4 dually burb with 35s on it and it will go places that a goat wouldn't :cheers:

get a dually rear axle off a cab and chassis then you can use regular fender flares. not the huge ones. I have to disagree about duallies sucking off road. on occasion you will get a rock caught between the tires, but the traction is phenomenal. I hardly use my 4wd and if I do it's mostly for the low range. highdesertranger
