I just noticed, you have to wait a little bit for the pics to load. Anyway, what do you guys think?

Looks good, but it's not a good think when it can flex like that and stay that way.

I felt that I benefited when I had articulation like that. As far as staying that way, it alway's will on concrete like that.

what benefit are you guy's gaining from narrowing the wheel's, I have only been to one comp, but i felt my crawler climbed better than all the narrowed tire guy's, though I do see one benefit in that I am more likely to get tires wedged, and eliminating some tire scrub would be nice.

Is there any good thread on here about how to narrow the proline beadlocks?
