meant to add this in my last post, check out trailworthyfab.com .  They've got them. 

You can also source them in standard military configuration all over the place, but then you have to do the recentering yourself (they come with a 7" offset).

I don't know why everybody keep complaining about the weight? Just compare them to other 37 in tires, they are about 6 to 8lbs heavier ea. than 37" swampers and are about 8 lbs lighter than the toyo 37's. relatively speaking they are not that heavy.

I think when most people refer to the weight, they're talking about the beadlocks themselves.  They've definitely got some heft to them.  Personally, I see an advantage to have more weight down low.

totally agree, the rotating mass down low is a good thing? right?
