I just wanted to say I love the build and hope to put something together along this as well. Thanks for keeping it updated with lessons learned. Happy Travels

Thank you, and you're welcome. It has been a fun rig to build on and enjoy.

Currently looking into Super Single rim swap options, and 35s or 36s.

Ill follow along, I haven't really felt the need for singles though. I appreciated the dualies for flats....

I am on the fence.
Duals cons: can't air down, harsh ride, and chance of getting damaging rocks jammed between duals.

Tempting, with a 36" or 37" Mickey MTZs.

$400 each isn't too bad...

Singles allow for much lower hwy and daily driving air pressure than the 75 PSI my 19.5 Continentals require.
Things like washboard roads and chewed-up fire roads are where you will seriously enjoy the different. Drove a recently grated dirt road in Elko, NV in 2015; thought the dash was going to vibrate out the window. Had to slow to 10 mph. Was frustrating.

$400 isn't bad at all, and I located the MTZs on Amazon lower than what they are offering for their package deal.

Yeah definately allows for lower pressures. I'll try a ride in yours when your done to compare

I received my quote today. Will be measuring wheel well clearances tomorrow.
Another plus - I am running 4.88 gearing currently. The V10 with 32s has tons of power and pulls like a beast, but the RPMs get up there at hwy speeds. 35s or 37s would be just about right for the correct rpm range.

Awesome, I'm serious about wanting to try yours first! I need to see that rig one of these days.

I have the same issue, I could happily drop some RPM's, I'm at almost 2k at 60.

I'll be at more Meet-ups this year. 2016 was a challenge.

So, the idea of swapping to Super Singles has been put on-hold for the moment. After doing some closer measurements, my rig will need some lift to clear 35s with a 13.5 or 15.5 width. I'm not sure I want to suspension lift the truck at all. The hwy ride and stability is incredible currently; like a sports car with a pop-top camper.
I may look into a slightly larger diameter dually tire instead, to gain 2-3" in height and lower my RPMs.
