how much extra width do dually hubs add to a D60 frontend? can dually hubs be mounted on a rear D60 or D70?

8" for a total width of 77".

Don't think they will work in the rear without somehow mounting front spindles back there? It would take alot of work, even the axles would have to be custom made.

Just a thought for you. 14 bolt FF and 60 fronts use the same bearings inner and outer. The spacing on the 14 bolt bearings are a little wider than a 60 but it looks like the spindle could be turned down a little and the threads run it deeper to get the same spacing as the 60. The 14 bolt hubs have a different offset than the 60 front hubs. I don't remember the difference it's been 5 years since I converted my HP60 to a hybrid 60/14 bolt.

I have a 70rear and 60 front
the hubs just slide on same as any hub
to run them I would imagine there is a some of work
caliper mounting bracket
custom shafts
are you gonna run Hummer rims?
