Balancing beads in all four tires. What a difference that has made for the all the vibration I've had lately.

I've been curious about this for a while.. How heavy is one set of beads? What speed does it take to start them spreading around the tire interior? I would think with a larger size tire it takes more centrifugal force which would need a faster speed.

I guess I am most curious about the low speed effect of this

I have six ounces in each wheel, which is recommended for the size of the tire. They are MTR w/ Kevlar 35x12.5x17 on stock rims. I was having the death wobble up front at 45-50 mph, but always noticed my shifter vibrating all the time. Now the shifter has minimal movement and no vibration up front is gone. The tire shop uses them alot in offroad tires and are having good luck with them. The nice part about it is that you don't have to have the tires rebalanced all the time. The beads start spreading out when you start the tire rotation. I'll use them again in the future.

Pop out the stock bumper from the back, clean the debris from the paint using detailing spray and press the caps in from the top. If I went to go back to stock, just push them out from behind.

I am planning a Hi-Lift mounted on the hood and one problem with this is that it blocks the windshield jet. After installing them I realized that this would be a great location to transfer the washer jets to which, I am hoping, will negate the problem with the jack mount location.
