Why are so many trucking companies switching to single rear wheel on class 8's?

Mine would not fit in your garage. I'm 96" without mirrors (105" with mirrors extended fully).

I don't put our dually in the garage.
When I could it was wall to wall.

*Just a note
Last time I bought tires for the dually it came to around $1268.00 mounted.
With a new spare it would have been about $1465.00 and that was a discounted price for Firestones.

Tire prices have gone way up from my last quote.

on a side note... once you pull with a dually, you may find yourself wondering why you didn't switch earlier :)

Thanks!

Length and height should not be a problem for this truck and my garage. Do any of you with duallys have problems getting through an eight foot wide door?

ETA: My maximum clearance due to trim on the door is 93". This is 3" short of 8 feet.

Why rely on what fits in somebody else's garage??.:h

Get out your tape measure!!

Check measurements for H W L - don't forget the mirrors in the "folded in" position and added length of after-market bumpers, etc.

I measured what I own, which at this point in time is just the garage. My Uncle "measured" the distance across the fenders at "eight feet." I'm not certain his measurements were accurate. :)

My question is, would YOUR dually fit in my garage?

Yes, but your door opening would be compromised.;)

I recommend you measure the truck you plan to buy. My Dodge is 103" to the sidewalls of the tires. Fenders are only narrower by 1/2-1" each side.
