Beadlock Opinions

Postby Don » Thu Apr 25, 2013 8:11 pm

As usual I'm over thinking my next upgrade. So the options that fall into my budget are:

- Stauns
- InnerAirLocks
- Weld on Beadlocks
- Eaton Beadlocks

I like the Stauns/ InnerAirlocks because I get both beads locked and can keep my wheels current wheels. I've heard they are a pain to install, and with the InnerAirlocks you have to air down the tube to change pressure in the tires. Also, no rim protection.

Weld On's, I'd have to buy wheels, buy rings, buy hardware and to do it right probably get anti coning rings ... and I'll still only have one bead locked. My issue typically has been losing the inner bead ...

Eatons - seem like an awesome deal, do they hold up??

I'm currently running 15x10 wheels on my 13.50 wide pitbulls. If I go with I beadlock wheel, should I go with 15x8??

So, what's everyone's opinion?

in my opinion there is nothing worth doing halfway....stauns or inner air, heard the inner airs last a bit longer but staun redesigned

so stauns are number one in my opinion since you must air down the innerairs

Cheap steelies with weld ons and run them. I never lost an inner bead while running stiff as all hell interco tires with them.
