Maybe if you had a gas regular cab, you might be able to do it. They only carry so many axles.
Here is the actual OFFICIAL SAE ratings. My truck is an AISIN 3500 DRW Crew Cab 4x4, all the numbers are there for MY specific truck. Read the last line that is specific to MY truck.
Any more thoughts gang???
