Why the Rising Popularity of the Super Single Option?

What is the significance of Super Singles? How do they compare to Single Rear Wheels (SRW) or Dually Conversions?

The emergence of the Super Single option stems from the desire to optimize the capabilities of dually trucks. When standard chassis, such as those found in base F450 or F550 models, fall short of realizing their full potential, a solution is sought to enhance their versatility.

For those aiming to enhance the off-road capabilities of dually trucks, the option of equipping them with super singles becomes viable. This strategy entails upgrading from the conventional 19.5×6 wheel size to a 20×10 specification, complemented by a 335/80/R20 agricultural tire for optimal performance. Naturally, implementing this modification would necessitate adjustments to the truck’s design. Our dedicated team assists numerous individuals in the transformation of their F450s and F550s, transitioning them from dually setups into single rear wheel utility vehicles, adept off-road performers, and even military-grade platforms.

MRAP Wheels: Elevating Truck Aesthetics and Performance

For owners of 1-ton trucks, adhering to a 1-ton super single is paramount. The meticulously crafted American Fleet Inc Design Super Single finds its purpose in Severe Duty contexts within the realm of 2-ton pickups. These super singles are remarkably versatile, catering to a spectrum of scenarios, spanning from leisurely road trips to high-intensity war zones.
Introducing MRAP wheels to your truck’s equation doesn’t just add a striking aesthetic flair but also enhances its overall cool factor. Seamlessly fitting onto any 10-lug application, our wheels blend seamlessly with diverse truck configurations, offering an exceptional fusion of style and functionality.

Choosing the Ideal Wheel for Your Needs

Our expertise lies in F450 and F550 MRAP super single conversions. Thanks to the inherent strength of this chassis, we’ve managed to ingeniously transform it into a military-grade platform without breaking the bank. The MRAP wheels modification holds significant appeal for valid reasons. Our MRAP Super Single Wheel not only introduces military-grade wheel quality but also enables the remarkable transformation of an ordinary Ford chassis, elevating its functionality to unprecedented levels.

Enhancing RAM 4500 and 5500 Performance

The RAM 4500 and 5500 models also experience significant advantages through the integration of an MRAP super single. While it’s possible to equip any dually truck with a super single using appropriate adapters, we caution against pursuing this approach for 1-ton vehicles like the F350. The optimal candidates for super single conversions are 2-ton trucks, providing the ideal foundation for such enhancements. However, it’s of utmost importance to meticulously select the appropriate wheel that aligns with your specific objectives.
