Well, if you're talking 2wd, I'd venture to say no. The front hubs on my 2wd dually are WAY larger than the non-dually front hubs to accommodate the offset dually wheels. I think if it's possible it would be best to swap front hubs; not get adapters for your front hubs...... adapters on the front just doesn't sound safe.

get the 3500 hubs that bolt to the brake rotor from the front bolt them on then bolt on the wheels.

Well, no not quite. That's why I asked if he was talking about 2wd. My 2wd dually front hubs are one piece hubs/rotors.
