oh yeah, put the spare tire under the high lift to get it lifted to re-seat the tire

SX's at 4lbs (thats where you have to go to get them to work in the snow) X 3-5 point U-turns in deep snow = inner beads off rim. Have you ever had to put a tire back on the rim in 2-6' deep snow , not fun (bing a piece of plywood with you).

never personally done it - only seen it w/ a smaller size tire. we had to use a torch to melt the snow off the lip of the rim to get the tire to seat w/ out leaking... and i thought that sucked!

do you really have problems with losing inner beads? i've never seen that happen.

A guy on the last trip we took runs 39.5 Iroks with beadlocks on the outer lip but not on the inner... he would lose air all the time when the tires got squished up on sharp rocks/obstacles. Eventually he did pop the bead off but regardless he lost air all the time.

I'm gonna vote for the 42" SX2's 'cause that's what I want on my Sonoma. So, you get 'em, and give us a full report on what ya think of 'em.

thats my backup plan if the 43s don't come out in time. Are yours recentered or running dually hubs? Pics?

they are stock 12b h1's, im running dually hubs up front and d70hd rear with 14b srw hubs so they wms is the same pretty much front and rear. i love the stance. ill snap some pics for you tomorrow, its all dark here now.
