currently only single beadlocks are able to be used.

There is someone building some lower control arms so that a normal shock and a double beadlock can be used.

That would be great ! lets gauge some interest of who may want some tubular lower arms that work with double bead locks. Maybe with a commitment for multiple sets we can get them done faster . TJ check with your guy ...
