I wonder if you can do the same concept with coil springs... mount at a angle on the axle and wedge the top or something... so it sits at a angle... i think you could probly get 2in out of them which is about what i have... bump stops will still guide it..

You can turn the coil bucket brackets around and get a little bit more like that but the best thing to do is go C/O or ORI I reckon.

I'm getting some H1's for $300 of CL. Already re centered to 8x170 and all the hardware but it comes with run flats. Is there a market for those? Just need PVC inserts and rock rings. And to decide what size tire I'm going to run for the inserts.

Rubber. If they were mag inserts I would just burn them lol. I'll hold out for PVC inserts.

The rubbers are what people cut down and use... cut them down so they dont rub the inside of the tires when flat... i bought some to use but they were for 8 bolt wheels and not 12... worth around $100 a set... Id run them since they didnt really cost you anything... they provide the same doubke beadlock ability

Anyone want to trade a set of beadlocks and tires that are 8x.170 for some 12 bolt h1 rims with 37's and good tread and a 10.25 rear end with 4.10s?

Think I am going to just do the PVC inserts. I don't feel like ****ing with the rubber inserts and not having them be as lightweight/ reliable as the PVC ones. Only downside would be if I ever went to a different size tire and they weren't wide enough.

This swap nickles and dimes you for a lot more than you would think. Things like rollers, lug nuts, hardware, and consumables add up pretty quick.

Glenn would try to talk you out of the PVC inners. He broke his, remember?

How did he break it? There are only mag, rubber, and PVC options. PVC is the choice by 98.75% of Pirate and the world in our application.

Also, I think I am abusing the Tractor Supply hardware bins. I got 1.5 lbs of grade 8 hardware for $5.41. Lol
