I figured out you were probably talking about these...
Never had to use them on either set running 35's in KM2's or Mickey Thompson's...
TrailReady's after I stripped and repainted the wheel....
Raceline's when I want to change things up....

Got them in today, packaged very well.
Still waiting on my other stuff to include the spacers. Plus I need to either order balancing beads or see if walmart will do the traditional wheel weight balancing.
Should I just go ahead and go with the dyna beads or airsoft bb's for these rims?

I'm going to use beads , I just need to figure out how many air soft BB's for 35's. I tried the dyna beads in my motorcycle and I ddn't like due to the plugged the valve stem and let some air out , happened a couple of times.

Heres a chart though and it seems for 35s that 8 ounces per tire would is the generally idea you want.
I can definitely get airsoft bb's a lot cheaper than the dyna beads (5x8oz bags for $97)

Read on some forums from a quick google search that someone used 15 ounces per tire on their 37s, one said 10 1/2 ounces on his 35s. I guess it all depends on the system and tires.

Talked to my local shop that is the only place in town that will touch them and holy crap. A 4 hour job at $100/hr, thats absolutely insane to pay someone $400 to do beadlocks. I am so glad I ordered pretty much everything I need to do this job. The only issue I may run into it getting the tires un seated and off the current rims. If I have that much of an issue I will put my Jeep on jack stand and run down to a local tire shop to separate the tires for me, so I can mount the tires on the rims at home. If my current ARB Twin and the ratchet strap method can't seat the bead, then Ill drive back down to the shop and just have them put air in it. Its a huge PIA, but if its saying me from paying $40 per tire or $100 per tire, I'm ok with that.
