    I used 3" 'C' channel (bolted in the middle), to form a cross. drilled 1/2" holes in the ends of the 'C', used 4" bolts to press down the lock ring. I tried 1 bolt in the center to pull down the cross to press the 'lock ring' down, but found out the 4 bolts through the 'lug' holes works best. It only has to go down about 1/4". MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE CENTER OF THE VALVE, TO LET ALL THE AIR OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My,.02.

    Vrod, I'm a newbie, looking for some 11.00 x 16's. Is that what these are? If so, could you share the contact info? Thanks.

    Great info. Looks like a bit of work, but worth it.

    You'll LOVE those XL's Rob! I think they (and their sisters, the XZLs) are the perfect tire for our trucks!

    I'm sure you mean BIG sister, right Binford? XZL's are a lot more expensive/desireable than the XL's. For good reason, I'm sure.
