Bobby Long Beadlocks
« on: Nov 09, 2005, 04:58:28 AM »
Where could i find a set of the wheels like ones on White Trashes truck and i guess those are Bobby longs? Are they a beadlock kit or a full wheel?

And then does Bobby Long makes this beadlock kit too?

They are just a weld on kit.  Bobby stopped making them awhile back so no dice on getting ones just like mine.  Kyota has some from alchemy metal works that are pretty cool and they were a helluva deal too.

Sky Manufacturing also makes some beadlocks. Aluminum, 32 bolt counter sunk. They have steel available as well. Check their site. I'm not sure how they compare to Bobby's but I'd imagine they are of equal quality. I think Over Rev runs the Skys...infact I saw them for sale on Pirate.

Here is a pic:

Does anybody make the beadlock kits with a support ring on the inner ring so the outer ring doesn't cone?
If you still have control you aren't going fast enough

Longs were the onlt DIY lock that had the spacer ring. Mine dont have it and  I begged the guy to roll some rings and add them but he wouldnt and they really dont cone as bad as you think, I was surprised and am totally satisfied without them.
