Definitely, Mike. The 12-ton Tallboy # PM94FR has more than enough power for your dually’s front axle. The main thing to check is clearance - it needs about 11-1/4 inch minimum height to fit, so measure under your lower control arm or frame first. It’s a heavy-duty piece around 37 lbs, but that wide 9-7/16 inch base keeps it rock solid in the shop or driveway.

Do you want to keep it as a road tool or part of your garage setup? I can help with storage tips for either.
