Nice truck. Do you plan to detail what you have done to it for us?
Who makes the rim, and are they DOT approved?
They look like Hutchinson bead locks to me, said to be DOT approved. They are similar to HumVee wheels.
In all of my years off roading I have yet to see anyone produce a ticket/citation for running beadlock wheels. With all of the fake-locks out there now, I doubt most LEO's would even know the difference. When I worked for Allison Transmission I was at one of the city bus barns and there was a CHP inspector there, I asked him about beadlocks...he gave me a blank stare, and asked me Bead...what? I said never mind, didn't want to educate him on the finer points of off highway wheels.

Upgrades to the whole break system with aftermarket severe duty parts. ( I tow quite a bit and have had issues with breaks in the past. So I replaced break line, sensors, rotors, calipers and pads at all four corners.
Also you can see the stage 4 4.5' lift I installed a few years ago.
Camping in the San Juan Mountsains Colorado.
The full-size truck with Trailer was a bit much for a lot of what i wanted to explore in Colorado but we did manage to explore quite a bit.
Here you can see the quick wooden slide I made for the bed for the 80 quart fridge. I used 48” 500 lb self locking slides for it. I built it specifically for this 30 day 10,000 mile trip but have since removed it.
