Hi "How To?"
Duals are great for carying heavy loads on the highway, they SUCK in off-road conditions, in mud they act like 'trenchers'. You'd be much better off putting all that money and energy into a Super Swamper or similar tire that is designed for extreme mud useage with a true self cleaning tread. And installing a "part time" traction device locking diff in the front. I've been driving off-road since the 50's, trust me, you don't want to install duals at all four corners. Look at extreme terrain construction equipment, they use large single tires to get around in muddy fields and project sites. Only farm tractors that are concerned with soil compression still use duals at all four corners. In a flood with that much "floatation", you'll just head for the Gulf.
