Lol.... Btw do you even know how to torque them? Its not the easiest thing. Most tq wrenches go as low as 25 lb ft tq. You will need a smaller caliber torque wrench and do some calculations.

Just cause you have them on other things doesnt mean it will be great for the truck. Hell i run beads on my atv too

Its not worth it if you will never check up on them

Ok, thanks for the info.

I dont own a raptor but i have been running american racing ATX beadlocks on my 93 bronco for about 4 years now. It has solo motorsports widened and trussed beams and 14in king coilovers on the the front, its my daily driver and weekend desert truck. Ive never stripped a bolt, never had a tire leak and ive only retorqued the bolts on the ring once since ive mounted them. I love having beadlocks ive ran them from 8psi up to 40psi and never had an issue.

I've ran mine hard - 2-3 PSI when needed and around 15 for high speed in the sand. Also up to 50PSI on the street at 100mph for extended periods of time. As long as you get the tire seated right the first time and retorque them later a time or 2 they'll stay tight. I've ran them for about 35k miles with no trouble. Including towing and everything else

Beside they looks good, they help a lot when offroading.

What tire pressure are you running when you are off road? What type of terrain?

If looking good is what you are after, simulated bead locks sure are a lot less work....

I was thinking the same thing.

When you run those beadlock onroads will they make the tires shaky?

Hey what about if you change it for a grade 8 bolts will be hard to rip them appart

Bolt strength doesn't matter. Besides, there is a fairly good reason why they are illegal.

LasGod, What would that reason be?
