Thank you yeah it really is badass looking in person I'm very stoked!
Considering the shop did not balance the tires it actually rides really well there's only a slight vibration I've only had it up to 60 but surprising for not being balanced I got to find a better shop or just buy the damn machine to do it myself or use balancing beads I'll figure it out. Lol

First place I would think of is OK4WD but don't think they are near you. I would not do the beads. They don't work well. I put 35s on my F150 after I leveled it. They asked beads or stick ons, told them I didn't care, they did the beads. :( First time I had them. I don't plan on ever doing it again. Some days they are smooth as butter, other mornings shakes like mother. Sometimes shakes in the am and smooth in the pm. They SUCK. Stick ons for me, from now on.

You could also try a big truck shop. Sometimes they are better at doing big tires.

Thanks for the advice I appreciate it The place I went to does 18 wheelers hence why I thought they would be able to take care of it but what are you going to do a buddy recommended I didn't want to create any animosity and on top of that they actually installed my beadlock rings so I didn't have to so I'm going to look around here but where I live there's not any of these shops everything's 2 hours away I'll probably just buy a machine lol and do it myself

@BAUS67 you may have had a crappy beads or not the right amount. I use them in my SxS and got some for my Bronco, just haven't put them in yet.

I bought some off of Amazon for my trailers and that brand, counteract sucked. I went back to the brand in my SxS, E Z Tire Beads and they are awesome if you ask me.

Did they ever explain why they couldn't balance them? The machine I use is pretty standard in the industry (its a Hunter), and it does mine just fine. I'm too much of a pansy to lift them onto it tho, so I roll them onto a floor jack and jack them up onto the machine. Looks like a monkey making sweet love to a football, but it works!

Not sure, they wanted to use beads and did not have enough. Blah blah but when I got home it had weights on so not sure what they did or if those are from before, which if they are its close. I have to go there Monday to pick up the old tires and will ask what they did.

Can the beads freeze inside the tire to start on cold mornings with trapped moisture in there? Like in a clump until it warms up?

Ran power to the amber backlights of my DD SCC reverse floods. Picture with running lights on, brakes, and reverse.

I've never ran into that but I'm in a dryer climate, not totally dry, but dryer...

I would think that you would need quite a bit of moisture to have that happen though...

Installed the Mabett drip rails to stop the waterfall coming into the cabin after leaving the driveway after a rain storm.

Works great!
