The dually option is only around 1200.00. Trade in your current truck on a new dually, it would be thousands of dollars less than doing an actual conversion on your current truck.

Can a SRW be converted to a dually axle?

Click to expand… dually axle is 4″ wider i believe. everything else should bolt in. or keep your stock axle and buy dually adapters. with that said, converting your srw to a drw wont change your gvw. in fact, your adding more weight effectively doing the opposite of what your looking for.
