I popped a tire off the bead Sunday, I don't llike that to much, actually that sucks. Any way, who makes a good 8 lug 15x12 beadlock:question: :question:

Here are a few ideas:

MRT 1-800-643-3625
Trail Ready www.trailready.com
Champion
Eaton beadlocks from national Tire & Wheel or Summit

From what I hear Champion are the best......:beer: :beer:

Thanks Shaker.

I posted this in haste, so before I get bashed for not searching, I will make myself more clear.
I did search, and I am thinking about the RockStompers(seem to be the best thing going for do it yourself). BUT if I can get the wife to bite on buying a new set of wheels that are ready to go, then maybe I can save some dough. I know of MRT, TRAILREADY, and HIGH-IMPACT. Out of these, who has used them? How well are they made? Any problems?

I'm currently running bart beadlocks but will be switching soon. Don't use Bart's on a full size and use them to drive on the road they just don't work that way. I hear MRT is good that's what I'm getting next

I run the 15"x10" Eaton's from National Tire & Wheel. They have served me very well and I am not easy on them. Unless you are running 44" Boggers, I don't see a reason to run a 12" wide wheel. There is a guy selling a set of 15"x10" Eatons for a reasonable price in the for sale section. I was going to jump on them so I could have my pull tires on a set of bead locks, but I decided to spend my money elsewhere.

He is running 44's........:D :D

I have two theories on the wheel width for the 44's...

1) If you are running a high horsepower mud only rig, use a wider wheel so the 44" Bogger tread is as flat and wide as possible.
2) If you are not running a high horsepower mug only rig, it doesn't matter. My buddy's fiance has a set of 44" Boggers on 15"x10" Eatons and they are Pimp.

He has a "Lingenfelter based" 383 stroker with 4 spd./205 5:13's/lockers front/back! He'll be running mud mainly....HP is not a problem for him...I would choose 12 wide.....but that's just my call. I had 15x18 Weld rims on my Big x-cab I had :eek: :p :beer:

I usually post during the day when I am at work, I have other things to do when I am home. So I wasn't here when you guys were asking.
Thanks Shaker for filling in.
Horsepower is not a problem, slinging belts @ 7500rpm is, oh yeah and the stupid wheel issue. I listened to somebody's advice and went with a 14" wide wheel, not bad advice but not what I needed. So I want to try a 12" preferrebly with beadlocks.
:smokin:
Anybody have pics of 44 boggers on different size wheels? I would like to see the difference in the tire surface on the ground.:) :)

Another option out there is the Aggressive Offroad beadlocks- Gabe is somewhere on the site I'm sure (that's how I got mine).
Very nice, & the only one on the market (that I know of) that welds the rod on the inner bead surface to keep it from unseating. I'm running 16.5" x 9.75 wheels with 42x15 TSL's.
