Out of curiosity, is there an advantage to powder coating the beadlock rings as opposed to getting a trim ring kit?

im sure both work
The rings that come with the factory wheels are just for looks.
I wanted them a specific color
Thats why i went with powder

The fab work looks great. Massive load on a single pivot point with that leverage though!

going to to tie in with a bumper
That spreads the load

I will measure in the morning to make sure
But just by looking, seems like 1

waiting on a call back from rock jock
About the zerk location.

i did notice that my kid chaos tie rod braces are rubbing on the bottom of the spring cup.

going to check that in the morning as well.

will probably have to go with the thread in type to make sure they clear

rock jock just contacted me and can run the zerks facing up, they will clear

Thanks! Can you let us know what they recommend if you find something out.
ships already sailed on the Rock Jock, the part are in the pile. I’ll have to see how it works out as well. But I don’t like that fitting there, I’ll end up sheering it off. Could put on a ASFIR skid I guess.

I didn’t intended to get new wheels with this build, I have a set of KMC 720 Roswells I bought in 2020 before I had my Bronco and information was still limited. I got the 17x8.5 +18 5.46 Backspacing. At the time a Zero offset was available, but I thought it would be too far out on the stock HOSS 2.0. Now they’re discontinue, and highly sought after.

As I’m reading through the Camburg specs, they state a maximum of 5.00 backspacing. So I’m 1/2” too far in. Do you see where there would be a conflict with the Camburg UCA? I read through most of the other top UCA makers and they all state close to the same 5.00 Max Backspacing. Only RPG claims there’s will work with with OE and Aftermarket.

choices are wheels spacers, which is a hard pass.
get the RPG. I’d rather have the Camburg Tubular
Get a new set of Bronze Method Bead Grips
(and some 37” KO2)


I really like your build. Its well though out. Not overdone. Lifts just right.
Well done

Here are the pics i promised, you should enough room to run the 18 offset.

Also notice the kid chaos tie rod braces are rubbing into to the kings,
Guessing under spirited driving through the desert.
just removed them and going to install the jks sleeves. Will be much thinner than the bolt on type.

have u seen the new icon tie rods, the may be your solution!

 

[DoYouBronco]

watch out for tire clearance on the inner fender where the flare attaches, under full compression the tires willl contact and can bend the fender!

don't ask me how I know.....

Beautiful Build do you really off road that beauty, just saying lots of money spent no pics of you off roading, just driving on flat dirt. If your happy i'm happy to each his own.
