Default Mopar beadlocks

So in a few days i will have a set of mopar ( hutchinson ) beadlocks. I know they are a heavy wheel but from what i have read they are very nice and street legal. I was wondering what i should do to my axle. I already have the c-gussets and was planning on doing the sleeves . And sooner than later get some longfields . Will i be safe with this set up

Holy cow, Harry!
Can't wait to see them!

I've been running my Rock Monsters for over a year, and haven't had any problems at all even with the stock axles. You are right at looking at the sleeves to beef up the tubes, and/or a truss for max stregnth. That's the route I'll be taking in a couple of months, and I plan on adding a RK truss. Don't know if I'll do the Longfields or stronger axles (front and rear) with CTMs.
Please keep us posted.

Harry, I forgot to ask, what is the backspace on these rims?
The last set like this I saw had something like 5.5" and they used spacers.

Anyway, the best looking/performing set of rims available for the Jeep, right there on your rig! Probably the only rims I'd trade my Rock Monsters for, except a set of the Hutchinson Mercedes Rock Monsters drilled for a Jeep.
