No, you need either Arrowcraft
Or use a complete dually axle. The wheels will hit the springs without the spacers.

They weren't the worst, I got a full set up, front and rear spacers, 4 alcoa hot shot wheels and 3 steel for $1617 delivered. Of course they sold to me a dealer price, I have a repair shop

what did the flatbed come off of?a cab/chassis?or a pickup that somebody took the bed off and replaced it with the flatbed?

if it came off of a cab/chassis truck you will need the cab/chassis rear end as a true dually rear end will be way to wide,the tires will hang out the sides of the bed.

i was told the bed was off a 1ton single wheel ford, it measures 7 feet wide, if i got the spacers how much wider would the wheels stick out?? it might be too far

Get one junkyard dually rim and put it on and see if it hits. I've heard a 1" spacer will do.

if it came from a SRW truck then stay SRW as the duallys will stick out the side.another thing did it come off a pickup that somebody removed the box and replaced with the flatbed?or did it come off of a cab/chassis truck that came from the factory with no bed to have a commercial body put on it?

if it came off of a cab/chassis truck it may not fit you frame properly.you may have to lengthen or shorten your frame for it to fit right.
