beadlocks for 19.5's

Does anyone use beadlocks to air down 19.5 tires?
I have a 4500 dually, 4 wheel drive that I REALLY want to take down to some of our Texas beaches. I carry an AF1150, so it's pretty heavy.
Almost every beach says to air down, and I'd feel more comfortable doing so, but, know that you really can't with 19.5's.
I've seen several sites talk about beadlocks.
Any experience or tips would be appreciated.

    I guess you'll know when your tires are digging for China and that big tow bill hit ya...

    I don't think it's possible with 19.5s due to the type of bead. American Force does make a lot of different 19.5s and 22.5s. Maybe you could just go for bigger tires or go with super singles.

    Otherwise, it depends on the beach if it is going to matter or not. Some are quite hard.
