Yeah, unless they tell us, we'll never really know... refer to secrets/conspiracy threadAgreed, the right rear looked like it but if it was hanging on to a rock ledge with 1/4 of the tire width it would deform the tire pretty easily.

what is a safe low pressure to run if the wheels do not have beadlocks? Safe as in not breaking a bead and going flat.
Probably somewhere around 10-12psi here on my TJ, sidewall also has to with flex and bead stability.Somewhat depends on the wheel and tire combination. A narrower wheel with a wider tire (within reason obviously) can help with keeping the bead seated. Some wheels have a little more agressive bead lip. I aired down to under 10PSI with Goodyear MTRs on cheap steel wheels.

Thank you. Several people replied and I will take notes. Thanks to all!! It is also great because everyone had consistent information in the same ball park. I am sure that I will be looking for places in Colorado when I start out since my wifes family is there.What’s worked well for me in the past on various 4x4 vehicles:
Rock Crawling/Hard Trails -
10-12psi without beadlocks, 6-8psi with beadlocks (or lower depending on tires/conditions/vehicle).
Beach/Sand Trails -
15-20psi depending on how soft the sand is. 20psi works pretty well for me here on NC’s beaches. Dunes might be closer to that 18-15psi range.
Fire Roads/Forest Roads/Washboard roads -
25-30psi depending on how rough the roads are. Rougher the road, lower the pressure. I don’t typically air down on these type of roads unless I’m doing 75-100+ miles on them. Shorter drives I just run street psi.
That’s awesome,really awesome.Awesome! That may have looked mellow to some, but I'm guessing that was fairly steep.
I’ll see how it works for you before getting minePersonally I think the Badlands looks a little weak with the 33's. I'm going right to 35's with my manual Badlands and hope they don't rub.
