I loved my LF beadlocks. High quality stuff and came with quality hardware. Too bad some scumsucker decided they wanted them more than I did. Oh well, having my 38's stolen started me down the road to 44" stupidity I'm on today.

last night my buddy stopped by and helped me put all the tires over the wheels. and got one of the tires completed blown up and sittin on truck. If it still has air in it when i get home from work today ima finish up the rest of them tonight

After i ground the weld smooth i painted the inner rings. Then after we had the tires set over the rims and ready to bolt down I put a bead of automotive sealant inbetween the tire and the inner ring.

added 9oz of .20g air soft bb's

Haha no prob. Got the last three bolted up and two of them blown up and on the truck. But the inner bead on the last tire has a lil nick in it. Could'nt build enough pressure to seat the bead. So my buddy is akin it to his old workplace. A custom 4x4 shop to try and seat it. That don't work I'm fillin my 10lb cO2 tank today at work and I'm sure I can seat it with that. I woulda used it last night in the first place but I ran outta co2. Tank was more then half empty after fillin my tires up 3 times from 7psi to 25psi. And two other rigs tires.

You don't want to use some starter fluid? That's always fun

Would you mind getting a measurement on how wide the anti-coning ring is?

I love them. If u read thru the thread i put air soft bb's in the tires for balancing, works great. I daily drive this thang everyday.

lownlinked85 · « **Reply #48 on:** Mar 08, 2011, 06:23:04 PM »

so those air soft bb's is all you need to balance the tires I tried reading the other bb balancing thread but got confused so you don't have wheel weights thats good now do you know if the these beadlocks are compatable with other rings in other words can you take another 24 bolt ring and slap on there because the LF ring looks lame

i dont see why not if the bolt pattern is the same, but yer just gonna be adding more wieght and probly make it harder to balance.
