M35A2 converting to super singles

[Godspeed131]

Ahh good to know thank you. I’ll keep an eye on it and get some correct hardware

I don't think adjusting caster is part of the singling out process.

When I switched from stock to 15.5's, I had to fight to keep the truck in it's lane at highway speeds, very stressful way to drive. After reversing the spring seat, it was MUCH better.

You don't notice it as much at lower speeds, so I suppose it depends on how much/where you drive.

I'm going back to dualies, but bigger dualies, I don't know what it'll be like.

I'm interested in swapping my deuce to super singles. I found a couple sites for adapters and wheels. Didn't know if they are the right things for what i need. I don't mind if wheels are scuffed up because I'll end up getting the sandblasted and powder coated. And i need to know what else I'll need to complete the swap. If anyone has feed back or information it would be greatly appreciated.

Here are some sites i found for wheel adapters and wheels:

20" x 10" w/ 10 x 335MM Lug Pattern Steel MRAP Wheel (20-Bolt)

<h3>These 20" x 10" steel MRAP wheels have a 10 x 335mm lug pattern with a 281mm pilot hole/center bore (or about 11.06"). They have been previously used and mounted on tires, and as a result may have light gouges around the center hub from prior mounting, as well as scuffs in the paint and...

Are these plates 3/8" or 1/2" thickness and was the chamfer correct on the bolt holes.
Thanks

Have not ordered them yet. Assuming 3/8" thick.

Has anyone put the 16.00R20 on the deuce? I bought these tires off the auction thinking they were the 46 inch but they're 53s

There's not room for 14.00's or 16.00's between the rear axles. 395's are as big as you can go.

The 395s are the ones that's 46-47 inches right?

More like 45". The 14.00's are 47-48ish. The 16.00's are 52-53". There's a little bit of variation between tread designs and manufacturers.

People who bob, sometimes go with the 53"

If you plan on hauling any weight up hills. You may want to stick with 395’s or a smaller option . The extra gear you get through a bigger tire make all the gear jump from 3rd to 4th a bigger problem ,
driving a mild load or empty truck isnt not an issue .
i run 395’s on a bobber dump , hauling logs or gravel 3-4 tons up local hills is a 3 rd gear only climb knowing that a shift to 4th will only bog the truck down to point of downshifting . My truck is not turned up for power but the fdc game me a lil low end power you can feel .
a 6x6 will be effected more with extra axle leaning on what power your truck makes

@RollingThunder19, have you gotten the wheels and tires yet? I’m in the same boat looking for the same thing.
Thanks

Unless you bob. Some people go with the 53's after they get rid of the back axle.
