If you going to be on sand, wider super singles would help. There is a good reason the Services have swtiched from the duals. They are fighting in a desert environment afterall.
Where are the super singles? I have been patiently waiting to see those 15.5s on your 5 ton rims~! They will take it to the 'next level', literally and figuratively.

You can go either way. Weld it up and use the split ring (looks like stock rim, only 10" wide), or get new centers and leave as two halves (2 piece bolt together design with or without beadlock insert). My radials are tubeless and are on the 2 piece double beadlock rims. One half shown in...

1. Take two stock deuce rims, cut in half and reweld to form a 10" wide rim. M35 products has done this.

Where is the pic??? Did you go with dual 1400s as planned?
I have seen pics of 5 tons running 53s, both XLs and XZLs. I know it is possible, but it has to be close! You probably don't want to get new tread as the the tire sizes could fluctuate almost 2" depending on tread.
Thanks El- I see it now.
Loose Deuce, I know you have been around, but I figured maybe you changed your sig recently and left off the city, state. It does not show up on my screen (My colors are set to OD Green, isn't everybodys????).
I have a couple 900x20s with used tires you can have...
