Have
you ever wondered how those trucks can crawl up those extremely
steep grades over jagged rocks with hardly a tire spin? I'll
tell you one thing that helps. Letting some of the air out
of your tires will go along way for gaining traction. This
allows the tire to conform to the terrain allowing it to "bite"
into as much surface area as possible. Another benefit of
"airing down" is an increased amount of flotation
over loose surfaces. Of course there are side effects to running
low tire air pressure. The worst of which is making the tire
pull away from the rim. That is where beadlocks come in. This
is a weld on kit that after assembled literally bolts the
tire to the rim with 32 bolts. I have had mine down as far
as 7 psi and no problems so far! If you see a design here
that you like or have something else in mind let me know and
we will work something out. Check out some of the custom creations
below.
Kit
Pricing starts at $65 per wheel on up. Pricing largely depends
on style chosen and the amount of detail involved. If you
have a custom request please call or email
me and we can discuss your beadlocks.
When
ordering beadlocks You need to know what method of welding
you plan to use to put these on your rims. For wire feed welding
you should order the "Inside the lip" part no. For
Tig welding you should order the "Outside the lip"
part no. These beadlocks are designed to aid you in the welding
task to help prevent pinhole leaks or leaks at the weld joints.
Of course welding should be done by a certified welder. Beadlock
pricing is per wheel. This includes inner and outer rings
of your choice, no hardware included. I am often asked why
I don't include the hardware. To put it simply, it would be
a disservice to my customers to include the hardware. Many
of these kits shipping weight is close to the UPS 70lbs. maximum.
When you include hardware the shipping weight is increased
and UPS hits you hard for that. Bolt length also depends on
rim selection and tire bead thickness, so to get the optimum
bolt length you really need to see how it will all go together.
Hardware required is 3/8" grade 8 bolts, ranging from
1.25" long to 1.75" long. We strongly recommend
3/8" steel pinch lock nuts. Of course washers should
also be used.
Shipping
will be 15% of your order total.

steel rim and your good to go.
