I can trade you front 60 DRW hubs for your SRW.

For the rear you can get 3" wheel spacers on ebay for $220ish

I don't know if they would help, but if you wanted to try spacers, I have a set of 2in spacers I used on my front end before I did a solid axle swap on my truck. 2in 8 lug spacers $100

I'm in Yakima, but I wouldn't mind driving to Tri-Cities to swap parts.

Some newer duallys come with spacers on the front from the factory, so if you get a high quality spacer I don't see why it wouldn't work. Might be a little more expensive than the Ebay ones I mentioned, I thought you were talking trail rig.

Here's some examples of the OEM dually adapters

If you could find some of these in the junkyard that might be a cheaper way to go for the rear.
