Hello everyone. I've been considering doing this, and thought it would be best to get some DodgeTalk.com wisdom before I go and try something that may be far more difficult than I think it is.

OK, so the object of discussion is a 1990 3/4 ton 4x4 Cummins. I would like to replace the single axle for a 1 ton dually axle. Is it as simple as bolting up the spring packs, shocks, brakeline, and driveshaft? Or is there compatibility issues/adaptations? I'm not worried about if the bed needs to be cut out for clearance, since it's pretty well rotted out around the wheel wells already.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I'd like to do this as well, would def. help with the slide in camper. Any ideas where to get the dually glass fenders?
