Offline Chuck's got them on his TJ. He's had them for a few years now. I haven't heard him say anything bad about them other than not too many shops will work with them. Other than that he airs down to single digits and does really well.

Offline I've heard they are a pain in the rear end to install.
Um...what?

I've always been impressed with Chuck's. He runs his tires amazing low and doesn't seem to have any trouble.

As the story goes,I could find plenty of places to buy from but not mount them. I did buy new wheels and tires so I'd be ready for a trail ride with you all.

Offline I am hoping to get some Stauns in the next year as them seem like a good idea.

Let us know if you find a place that will mount them for you. I tried but they said they didn't want the liability of drilling second hole through the wheel.

Offline American Tires at the corner of Hwy 49 and Locksley lane in Auburn installs them, but it isn't cheap. I don't like them because every time you need to replace a tire, it will take a ton of time and you will still need to take them to someone to do it or you better have your own tire machine. I will stick with the real beadlock. I can change and install my own tire in less the 20 minutes a tire and that includes torqing the bolts down. Yes, beadlocks are street legal they are just not DOT approved!

Sounds like a super hero and his side kick 
Rob has a good point about having to get tires changed. Could be a pain.

yep....doing the Stauns is something you would want to learn yourself. I would like to get a set of tire spoons and give it a try. I understand once you get it down its really not that hard and goes quick. I see Goodyear come to our yard when the mechanics are off and replace flat trailer tires. They don't have a tire machine and get by quite nicely.
The other option is to give the HF tire machine a try. I have seen people having luck with those.
I have no problem with running beadlocks on the street. I just liked the idea of keeping my current rims and having them double beadlocked.

I also agree with Rob's comments. If you are focused soley on the DOT requirement, they do make DOT approved beadlocks as well. I think they sell them in either Quadratek or at 4WD hardware. I'm not sure what the risk is. I've been driving mine for 3 years and haven't had any problems. I've torn Krawler sidewalls twice and the beadlocks were a very easy change out. I only had to buy Lee lunch to balance them.
