I have rock monsters not spider locks btw.
thank you very much. really you run it that low? i dont know much, but that sounds low. but ill try it. how do u like the mtrs offroad?

You tube "mounting beadlocks" second one down is a good video of a fj cruiser they are putting some beadlocks on. its pretty good. I didn't use the tie downs for setting the inner bead.
I put the tire and rim on a five gallon bucket, inner bead down, and filled it with air and set the inner bead like that. I run mine on the road with 30 psi.

I run 10 psi in my tires on stock rims. Never lost a bead in the rocks yet.
