SRW to DRW axle conversion....

[SDEric]

project I am contemplating, debates the task of swapping out the axles for a lower gear and dually setup. I figure if I can go with taller tires and lower gears, increase rear end stability and traction, not to mention load capacity for when I buy my new "home." I am looking at putting on 22.5 rims. and hualin a 30ft travel trailer, till I can find a decent apt/house at a good rate. Meanwhile the travel trailer will suffice.
With that being said, what are somethings I may want to look out for and consider as I embrace this task of tasks? Has anyone done this before, or some points of caution? Would it be best to find a donor and swap beds? I've got a spray on bedliner in there so they would be making out!

Hope your holidays were GRRRRREEEEAAAAAATTTTT!
Thanks!

You can buy the wheel wells and install them on your truck.

Yeah I was thinking of the add ons but wasn't sure how they would look.
As far as the axles aren't the factory ones shorter then the sterlings?

IT would be great to find someone who wants a SRW rig and want to swap with me
