I think a lot depends on your state and how it view licensing. If you plan on crossing state lines I'd say no way. Dual anythings call attention to you. Most of the scuttlebutt I've been hearing is that dual wheels on a pickup or trailer are what DOT looks for at a distance to see if you are worth stopping for a closer look. Thats one reason I only run single wheel pickups. My D2500 Dodge is set up with D3500 leaf springs, torsion bars, etc. My F250 is set up as a regular F250. I run a 14000 pound trailer, 20+4, with tandem single wheels on the trailer. I've pulled a 26 foot dual tandem and its a lot more dead weight to pull. I've decided its cheaper for me to hire any really heavy hauling. As to licensing, a Kentucky farm plate is rated for 38,000 pounds so my license plate is way more than my allowed GCVWR.
