He's got the Terra Firma Med lift. I don't have any more pics. You can try to shoot him a PM on Dweb, name's "TT Disco".
And yes, the DuraTracs have a wider tread than many tires of equivalent size. I noticed this on my DuraTracs vs BFG KM2's of the same size.

This was a topic not too long ago.. Most beadlocks are not DOT approved which means they are not technically street legal. However you can buy DOT approved and it doesnt matter in most parts cops wont pull you over for it. Especially now with all the fake beadlock rims it's getting harder to tell whats real and what isnt.

A few months ago, I actually did see a truck that had bead locks on the side of the freeway. It look to me that tire rolled of the ring, cause the outer lip of the tire was way of the rim.
