I have External beadlocks and prefer them over the Second Airs i used to run. They protect and strengthen the rim, protect valves/hubs and look Bling if finished off well
But they are not legal.....so, theres a start.
And last i saw, Chris was selling the rings.

Without seeing it in person and it flexing "all round", i agree, pics don't do it justice ;) i'm amazed at how stable it is overall. Other side.....black zook http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b135/Mandyzook/IMG_0151Custom.jpg blue zook.. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b135/Mandyzook/IMG ...

The most flex i've seen out of a swb leafed zook- on the right
Only pic i have atm.
It achieves more than this, but the 39.5in TSL was not high enough to get it to full flex.
It has Climax shackles (

i think)

In my disregarded opinion I really don't see a huge problem with it, as long as it's completely protected and you have a fire extinguisher mounted in the cab as well (just in case) i can't see how it would cause such a big concern. There are plenty of cars getting around that are deathtraps anyway ...
