    So theres nothing special about the leaf either Im guessing, just regular F150 rear setup w/ shocks? Advertising does wonders.

    FORD uses blocks in a lot of their trucks, and don't have any massive problems with it from what I have seen...

    aside from the custom built and tuned internally bypassed fox shocks exclusive for the raptor..

    side note: BFG uses a special compound and made other changes to the A/T KO tires that are used exclusively for the raptor. offers greater control at higher speeds while off road

    Beadlocks are not legal to drive on the street of CA. So either Ford is gonna shaft the California residents, or they're the fake beadlocks like on the Tundra Cock Warrior

    The wheel has to be DOT approved. There are a few DOT approved bead locks around.

    I read they are real beadlocks. You buy some conversion ring from ford. They even put a patent on it. Said something about it being revolutionary concept

    Sorry, they do not meet DOT standards, so they aren't quite ILLEGAL. But again, why would Ford advertise a car with wheels that aren't necessarily going to be DOT approved?

    Edit: You can convert them to beadlocks, but they are not working beadlocks until you make them so
