they look pretty nice but i was wondering if anyone has seen them or wheeled with anyone who had them. im leaning toward them for my next set or going crazy with some bias action and remounting my 33" for light wheeling days....

Deff bias. Since your truck isn't a DD the reduction in ride quality won't matter much.

well i am leaning that way but i read they require beadlocks to be run at an effectively low psi. also the one im in love with is the pitbull rocker and its 14.5" wide. so that means new expensive rims on top of the expensive pitbulls. and beyond me just being cheap, id have heavy rims/tires hanging off the already stressed front end.

treadwrights work well and are dirt cheap. i just see KM2 as the absolute minimum rock performance i will tolerate now and would hate to have even less. KM2 slide out of too many lines as it is. half the time i believe the my old 33" treadwrights held lines better the my 35" KM2. its hard to judge since my abilitys and expectations are higher now. the treadwrights were steered around the hard lines and the poor KM2s are pointed up the waterfalls.

Be patient and wait for a good deal on used beadlocks on pirate.

From the couple times I've seen the rockers on the trails.. they ain't all that and a bag of chips.
Have you thought of the Q78's that some of the CO ttora guys are running?
Sure, 11" wide isn't exactly the width you want, but a 1-2" wheel spacer would get you where you wanted. AND, you can run them on a stock 16" rim.
