[ihc] Dually on Single was/is?



It is my impression that the daully type offset wheel mounted on a dually
type front end puts the tread, midpoint in the wheel bearings so as to
distribute the same load as an equiavlent single wheel on a front end
designed for a single wheel application?

This sound kosher?

It seems like that would be hell on wheel bearings, a spacer and all.
Especially on a vehicle meant to carry a heavier load.  I understand
being able to use the same rims and all, it just looks weak to have all
that leverage on the wheelbearings.
