Cool, the reason I asked is I have seen pics of it on ramchargercentral.com but they weren't from the owner. It is a popular truck there, your buddy needs to join :)
The double beadlocks I have are two piece, each piece is basically a stock wheel with the split ring side cut off and new centers welded in. So basically 1 wheel consists of two stock wheels. I haven't looked yet, but if someone makes and sells the centers you could take your 10 stock wheels...
I have 16.00R20 XZL's on USA 6x6 14" wide double beadlock wheels. They have a 7" backspacing (middle of wheel). I think they look good under the deuce. I see a lot of deuce setups that have too much backspacing (for the width of the wheel) and the tires look all tucked up under the truck. I...
I have trailer springs on mine, simple bolt on. The rear actually flexes fine, maybe due to the spring rate, so I think the outside the frame mounting isn't so critical. It flexes more than I would like it to, I can't imagine those springs under the frame for more articulation.

I second MrM4, I have had all 3, 7.3L Powerstroke, 12V Cummins and 24V Cummins with a SMARTY, Cummins hands down. If you already have the Powerstroke you could sell it and buy a Cummins and tranny and be a step ahead of the game.
