The link doesn't take you to any kit, just the site.

Anyways I'm not sure if it's been done on a dually yet. I've seen SRW trucks converted to discs though.

I'm tempted to do a disc conversion but aren't the drum brakes stronger?

That's one thing I would like to find out. If the conversion would be justified on a W350. Seems no one has done one on a dually but many have been completed on SRW 250's and 350's.

I think the rims on a dual set up will not clear the calipers. So I have been told.

Just received an e-mail from Greg at 4WD Factory and the conversion kit https://www.4wdfactory.com/store/produc ... ersion-kit will fit a Dodge dually with a Dana 70 he's checking clearances for the cab and chassis.

This is just for info.
