Yeah I know the rear is low but I don't want the jackstands back there too high till I get all the weight on the front axle

Where did you get the wheels and bead lock kit. Really like how they turned out. Actually like how everything is turning out.

I got them from total metal innovations I really like them a lot too but it took about 5 hours per wheel so next time I'm going to just buy beadlocks or have someone do the work for me cause I could have used that time on other parts of the build

Thanks for the name, interesting though. You weld the ring to the rim and then you pinch the tire between the inner and outer ring. Bead locks that I am used to seeing remove the outer lip. Have you run these yet and no problems? Will you be running these on the street also?
