Ford Performance Beadlocks on Sasquatch wheels - experience / feedback?

[Steve_In_29]

Running 38's with beadlocks for about 6 months now. Just make sure you get a quality tire to put on there so you don't need to balance them and beadlock them multiple times.

Use balance beads....one and done.

legality is not a reliable metric for safety

But it is a reliable metric for not getting a ticket.

No argument there

How many cops can tell the difference between the beadlock capable stock rings and a beadlocked tire and ring?

On Moab or other wheeling towns...plenty.

Crawling at the mall....not so much.

I have them on a set w/ 40s, a set w/ 37s, and on whatever the stock ranger raptor tire size is. I Have had zero leaks. I check torque at oil change intervals...after a few it reaches a point where the torque holds...just takes time to crush the bead fully. I air down to single digits on challenging trails, and that extra grip really helps. After 2 years or so of having them, I am happy with them, and have zero interest in going to an aftermarket wheel

Same experience. Ford did a really good job with these.

Hey, did you ever put beadlocks on those Badlands Optional wheels with TSL's I sold you in Moab? I've never seen what that wheel looks like with the FP beadlocks on them.

Sure did! And i still have those wheels! But not that Bronco or those tires. When I traded the white BL in on the RR, I put the original wheels/tires I got with it back on, along w/removing most offroad goodies the dealer didn't care about. I sold the super swampers and got the wheels re powdercoated...they are mint now!

One of these days I’ll buy myself some Hutchinson’s and rotate them between my Bronco and Toyota’s. Then, I’ll pass them on to my kiddo.
