All 1 tons should have the same spring perch distance, whether SRW, DRW, or C&C, all of which being narrower than a 3/4 or 1/2 ton spring perch distance.

You generally have 4 options.

1. Keep what you have and build a flat bed/utility bed

2. Swap to a full width dually axle and a dually bed

3. Swap to a SRW bed, widen the wheel tubs slightly, the tires will be about flush/hang out slightly from the fender. I believe I recall the interference to the inner tub being slight, as in, potentially depending on tire setup, I've heard of some guys clearing by a hair, to some hitting. A slight lift in the rear would also clear, if you don't intend to twist it up much.

4. The C&C and SRW 14 bolt axles are an identical housing. You can swap hubs/brakes from a SRW onto your C&C and have a SRW axle.
