Why not? Chevy, Ford, and Dodge all do for their 1 ton dually trucks in the OEM. All three use bolt on ~3" spacers on the front hubs to correct the track width up front for dually wheels, I think the only exception is Ford's 4x4 axles still use a DRW specific hub, but the rest use bolt on spacers. On the rear, what more is the inner dually wheel (negating the tire) than a 1/4"-3/8" slip on spacer?
I have hauled over 10k multiple times behind both my 2001 2500HD with 2" spacers on the rear, and on my 78 K30 with 1.5" up front and 2.5" spacers in the rear.
