Staun internal beadlock. They are air bladders that when inflated inside your tire pinch the inner and outer beads against the respective rim lips. You can find them used somewhat easily
 
I run Stauns on my truck and they are finicky if you don't know how to use them, but I run them on my 16.5s and they are pretty slick. Its a double beadlock, which in a few ways is a little better than a conventional beadlock.

Is there a write up on how to install them? Drilling holes in my rims isn't really something I'm particularly stoked about.
 
Your rims are metal drill away it's not a big deal

I have relocated the valve stem hole on almost every steel rim I own

So then if I install these, will I have to mount the tires myself? (Which I've never done before) or will my tire shop be able to mount them for me?

Tire shop can put the tires on. You put the staun in after.

So have them mount them but not inflate them.

If the tires are already on a Hi lift and a 2x4 is fairly easy to break the bead yourself

ohh okay, wow this seems pretty intense. so have the tires mounted, not inflated, break bead, install stauns, reset bead somehow, inflate and go?

You don't have to break the bead if they don't inflate the tires.

You only have one side of the tire put on (you can do at home) install the staun inner tube and then finish having the tire mounted (tire shop).
