I have found a wheel adaptor kit for the toyota rims that would
allow you to create dulies. Would these be less stree than those old
aftermarket dulie rims. They are quite expensive.

I would not put after market duals on EITHER machine.
It's not the wheels that are the problem. It's extending
the arm of the axle and putting more load on an already
under designed bearing set up. In other words, if the
wheels stick out further on each side, regardless of the
type of rims you choose, you have increased the bearing
load.
As Nolan said in his post, lots of them are on the road
with those aftermarket wheels. But remember they were re-
called because of a high rate of failure. They will dump
you on some "dark and stormy night". Thats why Nolan went
to all the trouble to switch to a 1 ton axle.
The wreckers wheels, are for sure, a safety improvment over
those two plys, but I would keep looking for a true one ton
axle, and in the mean time go with a sway bar and single
6 plys.
