Concerning the aspects of changing a dually pickup, to single rear wheel. Some have claimed there are spacers to remove, change brakes, etc. I say, if you want to keep the flaired fenders, just remove the tires from the inside dual, remount the inside rim, then remount the outer tire and rim just like before. The now single rear tires will set wider than the steer axle, but so what? Am I mistaken?
I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

why would you remount the rims without tires on them ??  ... i would think you would want to move the rear tires INWARD a little bit ? ............ are you thinking the inner rim will protect the brake / caliper ?

Are no special spacers, axle housings are different, dually Pickup Wide spread rear is Wider and has longer axle shafts. Put single wheels on it will remain wide.   To compensate for Inner dual tire from riding too close to springs.

The other concern is you now Offset the load to the wheel bearings. Dual Hubs the tires support equall mass against centerline of Hub, same is true for a single rear wheel axle hub.

Rear studs on my SD 250 are same length as for dually.
