22” Alcoa’s on a 3/4 ton rear end?

Has anyone used a 3/4 ton single wheel rear end and used the 8 to 10 lug adapters to run 22” or 24” Alcoa wheels on? Or do I need to continue looking for a 1 ton dually rear end?

Thanks, Wade

Thats what im using 3/4 ton rear, 8-10 lug adapters with 22" semis. I swapped out my 1-ton rear for a 3/4 suburban rearend. The sub rear is narrower so i can use the factory dually rear fenders and the semi wheels will tuck

Why not a single 1 ton srw axle? Wouldnt that be easier than having to move spring perch's and shock mounts?

^^ Killer truck!!

Did you have to change the wheel studs to be long enough for the adapters?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
