If it breaks thats just a reason to go bigger

Now for important info. If a tire is put on a beadlock wheel can it ever be put back ontop a regular wheel adn work safely?

I would thing that as long as you didn't tear/chunk up the bead while it's on the beadlock rim, then it should be fine.

great question. My vote is no. the ring "mushes" (technical word) the bead to the point where I dont think it can be reused on a normal rim

i found a set of brand new 42" iroks on 17" bead locks that have never been on a truck. just sittin in the guys garage. The bad part is they have the 5 on 5.5" pattern of a half ton.. The crew would look like crap with 5 lug axles.

Miller = welded

Your'ge getting better, but still need to come back to reality on the original asperations and build within your budget. A 3" body lift, granted they call it a lift, is really only a temporary solution. The stock suspension is the best bet to be upgraded for offroad use. A body lift, in the long run, will lead to stress points at the cab mounts, and could rip the cab from the frame if abused too hard. So don't be fooled into thinking that your body lift is any way equal to a good suspension lift.

That rig needs new axles, but it does look pretty cool.

edit: he probably thinks that it needs a tranny cause it doesn't move well, when in fact he just blew up the axles.
