Anyone added beadlock rings to stock BL ready wheels?

You remove the beauty ring, that exposes all the other Beadlock Ring bolt holes. You must have a tire shop break the tire from the inside edge of the outer bead and move the tire to the outer edge, then secure the tire to the rim using the Beadlock Ring. Ford has very specific pattern and torque instructions for the entire procedure that must be followed.

Awesome. Thank you.

I'm not sure if you know this or not, but you are not able to run a bead locked wheel on public roads. Ford does state it in their instructions. I do believe its all over the us. Someone else may help with this info also.

true, but people still do

No they aren't

May be the case, thanks. But realistically, I live in Texas so am not worried. You should see the shit people drive on the roads here....

Installed rings finally

I ran around with them on my '14 Screw and never had any issues. Never lost any air pressure either. I got these before my truck arrived and had them powder coated. Just got around to covering them over.

The top side profile pic is the factory beauty ring. The bottom one is with the Beadlock ring.

Looks good! I've been really tempted to get the beadlock rings. My brother has run true beadlocks on the road for years and has never had an issue or been hassled. He had some true beadlocks on his truck 15 years ago that were off of one of Walker Evans race trucks. Much harder to get away with it back then. And they were bright red. I think with all the fake beadlocks around it makes running true beadlocks easier to get away with.

If you do install the real beadlock rings make sure you check the torque every few hundred miles or so. Since they are illegal and require maintenance, you should only get them if you plan on using them by running lower tire pressure off road or do lots of running where you might blow a bead.

If running the real rings offer no advantage to you then I don't see any reason why you would/should do it.

here is a good article link, everything is legal or illegal these days. just know how to drive and handle ur ride

oops. didnt see somebody already posted the link but
