    expect with lift and 33s to prob be closer to 19, dont worry im at 14.5 now with all the crap I have done with out gears.

    I've got the method beadlocks as well, they are just made better IMO. I had KMC and side by side the method is superior.

    Ok I'll be the weirdo. I have the KMC hoss wheels and I love them. The methods are just a little too dark for me. Both are cool tho. Good luck.
