axle width?
How much wider is a d60 dually front than a srw d60 front? What about the difference between a d70 dually rear and a 14ff single rear? I would guess 4 inches each side, but not sure. Anybody knowing the hub to hub width of these common axles, please post them.

I believe on the fronts about 8" overall or 4" per side, dually rims typically have 7" of backspacing. I'll look for the dimensions.

Front 60's are about 69-70" wide WMS to WMS. Most dually front axles just have a 4-4 1/2" hub spacer bolted to the axle which can be discarded.

IIRC, the D70HD is 75" wms-wms and the 14 bolt is 67".
One thing to point out about the DRW D60 front axle- most people do discard the DRW hub bodies, but SRW replacements aren't cheap. Expect to pay at least another $400 for them.
