Lemme get right on that!!!
probably my first testing grounds will be our local dunes, just to piss off a ton of quads with my 20" wide ruts everywhere. Bahaha im only running 10 psi in them now, going to drop it to 7 for wheeling. 
That will prolly work with thay footprint. I know smaller boggers that ive seen suck in sand because you can air them to pretty much nothing and still they look full of air, and dig in sand like it.

Yeah i have a friend that runns 44x19.5x16.5s with no beadlocks and he does fine at 15psi in the sand. So my beast should do just as well.
Awesome
Do you plan on running something else then mud? Beadlocks are just gonna trap mud in there. Everytime I ran mud i left a lot of air in my tires to keep em taller about 20 psi, and never had any issues with beads popping. If they where 16.5" rims I could see the need, but not 15's that have a safety bead.
Not trying to bring you down, but i do not see your truck being as tall as it is getting in any off camber situation, in trails and rocks where you need the low psi to grip the obstacles.
It will make your truck look even cooler that it is, but I just do not see the need for simple mud runs.
Just wondering

Just noticed you plan on running sand it makes sense. My boggers I had to air down to 4psi to get any sidewall flex. They just dig with 10psi.

at 10 psi i can wrap the tires up and twist the beads, thats why i want beadlocks. The PO warned me that the beads get rocks and mud in them at anything less than 10psi. He said he was going to do beadlocks but went another route. One day i may put a trans brake in the truck and race it, so i know i need them for that because ill twist em for sure. They look cool and they keep my tires in place. Im gonna run sand and mud and some trails. Nothing major.
Cool just most mud people i know stay away from bead locks or run solid centers so that the mud doesn't get caked inside the wheel making it harder to spin.

Got some work done on the truck this weekend. Built a bumper/winch mount. Its beefy, used 6" "C" channel to make the main portion, used a piece of 2x3 angle for the top and 2x6x3/8" plates to plug the ends. Also used some of the 2x3 channel to build the brackets, and shee fits really tight.
Also worked on my anti wrap bar and came up with this...
I think I need to triangulate the bar onto a lower mount. Im not completely up on the theory and its much better than my previous design. 76zimmer is responsible for that. I modeled this off of the custom bar that he made for iron maiden.
Input is welcomed

Daves is actually the Wraptor anti wrap bar or whatever from Kert at DIY4X. I would know, kert dropped it on my head when I was putting it in (Ill never forget that one hehe)

You need two points on the axle to prevent wrap. The closer the the axles center the better. Just search anti wrap bar and you will find a ton. I just don't feel like going down this road again. It was a lengthy discussion while we were building daves.
It looks like your upper mount is on a shackle. That bar is doing nothing until it binds all the way at the front. Until you get a second mounting point on the axle and tie it together you aren't helping yourself.
