You certainly can't go wrong with any of the mentioned. Race Lines are pretty sweet as well. Also hutchisons but I don't like that they don't have a replaceable ring. Probably not a big deal though.

If I had the funds - probably woulda went with TR's. Methods are a good option for a budget aluminum beadlock. Think I got them around 279ea if I remember correctly. Got 30k miles on them with no issues and no loose bolts.

You're cute.... I don't know what pic you're referring too but I'm down to between 4-6 PSI every time I go out....... Airing down is a breeze and takes like 15 seconds from 28-30 PSI to as mentioned 4-6 PSI with my monster valves.... ON A SIDE NOTE..... I'D RECOMMEND MONSTER VALVES TO ANYONE READING THIS..... SO SWEET TO AIR DOWN SO QUICKLY.... And combined with my Powertank airing up is a breeze as well..... I timed it once 29 seconds from 4-6 PSI to 30 PSI ..... 37" MTR's
PS- I had some sweet shots of my tires flat to the beadlock but deleted them running out of storage space on my iPhone(1000 pics of my dogs were more important to save lol).... That's the best shot I have with my jeep... But included a shot of my regular wheeling buddy(green TJ) who normally goes down to 8 PSI and 2 pic's in the same spot you can see some nice tire bulge..... He uses Staun inner beadlocks and had rings from TMR Customs welded on to his steel wheels also MTR's but 35"..... Don't think you can use Monster valves with those Staun's tho.

Running hutchinsons here. I've been very happy with them.

Ive been wanting to order a set of deadlocks but torn between which bolt patten. When I upgrade my axles ill more than likely be on 8x6.5 and prefer not to use wheel adapters to change then from 5x5, BUT I REALLY WANT THEM lol

I put 10 oz of ceramic air soft BB's in each with my 37" bias Iroks, and they balanced perfect.
