Wide track front axle

[Billcf7]

Anyone try putting a wide track front axle and front fenders on a 3500 dually pickup. Would love to have that turning radius

Can’t say that I’ve seen or heard anyone mention it. You talking like a 5500 front axle? Fill us in on the details...

Here in Ontario the insurance and license is expensive for a 5500 gvwr which is how we have to license a 5500. I would like the manoeuvrability of a 5500 in a 3500 dually pickup I wish Ram would build a equivalent to a F450

I believe the 4500-5500's are still using the 4 link short arm suspension like what is found on the '12 and older trucks, that would be the main hurdle in swapping axles

I thought they changed that when they went to the CAD axle in 19?

I just went and looked at a parts diagram for a 2020 4500, it has the multi link suspension.

Why they would change the axle and still go with a multi link in this day and age seems odd to me but it is what it is

I'm blown away that they are still using early 4th gen suspension on the 4500+ trucks. Keep wondering where that Ram 4500 pickup is, but guess it's stuck back in 2010.
