Not at all… But thank you for educating… Do you know if there is an easy way to reassign my post to that section?

Yeah pretty much. So many questions. But first do you have many miles on the coyote beadlocks? I’ve been looking for feedback on those.

Love the design. Some focus and attention to a few moments on the install and forget about saving your hands lol... takes some elbow grease! Changing 40's with tire irons.... but specifically - about 200miles... it's mainly off-load and weekend drive to sports/coffee etc... it is street legal in FL but that's not it's home ... so far the only issue is some slow leak in my Driver's rear... it's my fault - the hole I drilled for the inner-tube fill valve was too close to the wheel center... again Operator error and was met first wheel drilled so I adjusted for the rest... might move that one to spare... also if you add the Rock Rings - pay close attention to factory fill stem relative to Rock Ring holes... I fawked that up and then had ot buy 90deg elbows for the valves Overall though love them so far and soon some trail testing at 12-15psi

How do you like the isb170? We’re about to sell a motor and trans that’s sitting in our garage , cool engine but a 6BT is more my preference

Love it for this vehicle weight and setup...

Torque for days, wayyyyyy less vibration than several 4BTs I have built, perfectly matched to this 1-ton 40's setup... and about 5.25k vehicle weight

Engine height needs accommodated but having two less cylinders helps a lot for these smaller builds.

I’ve got a 4bt in my 80, I like it but would rather have a 6Bt , but also the weight of the 6 is too much imo for the 80

have you considered fueling options and more air flow/boost to the 4bt?? slight power bump and tune may get you what you seek?? if not yeah - 6BT in an 80 would want a new HD frame rails
