    I just bought a Bronco Sasquatch and didn't understand what is "beadlock-capable". This video made it perfectly clear. Thank you so much.

      Except the bronco raptor on a serious trail that it's capable of doing they break at the knuckle for the steering. Ford knows its an issue on the bronco and they've chosen not to fix it. Which makes them not a serious off road vehicle without a ton of aftermarket parts thrown at them and for the price it shouldn't be needed.

    Great vid i knew what beadlocks were but couldn't understand how something could be beadlock capable. Know , being how beadlock wheels are not legal for street use in most states i think its kind of a stupid option that ford put on. Seems like alot of work for a afternoon of fourwheeling. Thanks great vid

    Do you know what the width of the vehicle is when you use the bead lock obviously it gets a little wider? Also will be 37 x 13 50 wide tire clear using the stock bead lock wheels I don’t know if there’s the proper pack spacing to run that wide of a tire?

  • @popo_patty
    @popo_patty Год назад +1

    Did the beadlock pull your whole tire out away from the vehicle a bit? I’ve heard that it does

    • @4x4ranch
      @4x4ranch  Год назад

      It definitely does, buy moving the outer bead out approximately an inch, it moves the tread of the tires about 1/2” farther out.

    This is pretty awesome considering most aftermarket beadlock wheels are pretty damn heavy. These being stock wheels are pretty light weight all things considered

    • @4x4ranch

      Agreed, especially if you opt for the forged bead lock capable wheels (which the ones on the our Raptor are).

    If you remove the beauty ring to be painted or powder coated, then reinstall it, does the wheel need to be balanced again or would it be fine? Same question if you add the beadlock ring do you balance the wheel again?

      Generally you only need to re balance if the tire has spun on the rim

    What is the advantage of having bead locks?

    • @4x4ranch
      @4x4ranch  Год назад +2

      Bead locks allow you to drastically reduce the air pressure in your tires without the bead coming off and letting the remaining air out of your tires. Low tire pressure increases the contact area your tire with the ground which really helps with traction in off road situations.
