How Wide is a Dually? Always Need Dually Jacks?
Wondering if you can just squeeze by without the swing-outs. Are duallies all the same width no matter what brand or year? Thanks.

Don't tell the weight Police, but I hauled my 4200 lb TC for about 185,000 from 2004 till 2016 on my 1996 Dodge 2500 ext cab 2WD. Air bags with no overloads, sway bar, and 19.5 tires and wheels. Never had a problem.
I would not haul it on stock suspension, and stock tires were borderline. I upgraded to a 2004 Dodge 3500 DRW 4x4 for the creature comforts (softer ride) and wanted a change after 14 years.
Both of the TCs in this photo weigh 4200 lbs.
I would advise a potential buyer they should have a 3500 (not necessarily a dually) or a 2500 with upgraded suspension and tires. When you look close at the 2500 rigs most are way overloaded (per door decal), although few will admit it.
