alright guys, I am doing some long term planning.

1. Does the rear section of a sqbody sub narrow over the rear axle as the truck frame?
2. if so is is feasible to look at narrowing the rear end and tucking the DRW under the body, like a "pro-street" tucked under dually?
3. I dunno, i like number points.

My final plan is to dual out a flat black sub and drop in a Cummins!

What do you think will the dual tuck under?

Being a Burb owner spending much time repairing my inner rear wheel wells I would say there is very little room to tuck duallys too far in at least on the body. Like many a times though I could be wrong, lol.

thanks. I have shoved some large meats in by swapping the spring perches then adding extended rear wheel wells. Just never messed with duallies before...I guess I am going to have to do some real life measuring...

All you need is the Cab&Chassis (narrow dually) rear axle and the 1-ton spring hangers and shock brackets. Like a pickup, the inner wheel tubs will need widened some for tire clearance. I've thought about doing that myself, I think it would be really cool.
