There is or was a used set posted on eBay.

Seller is in Jax or Daytona. I was interested but he won't ship. CORRECTION: Citrus FL, wherever that is.

Summit stocks the Belltech spindles part number BEL-3500.

They are damn sure expensive though.

Yes it is. The dually only spindles will work on a single rear wheel truck but you have to run at least a 20" wheel.
