thoughts of running DIY beadlocks or you just gonna go with it
I'd like to DIY beadlock these wheels but since they are 2.5" backspaced wheels (reserved shell, safety bead is on the outside), using a ringed beadlock would not work out well.  I'm going to have to shell out for some Stauns one of these days.

you can easily get 1.5" out of that firewall with a hammer if you dont want to limit your uptravel.  just make sure you unbolt your ecu before you do the passenger side.  if you take your time and plan out your hits it can come out pretty clean
Thanks for the tip!  I will cut off the pinch seam and take a few swings with the BFH.  Most people are saying I have to cut and tub the firewall.  They are saying that flexing out with a forklift won't show the true amount of flex, it will rub a ton more on the trail.  I don't completely agree.  Using the forklift shows where I'm going to rub.  Getting it on the trail might make it rub alittle bit more than on the forklift.  I will bumpstop it accordingly if it rubs on the trail.
