i found a company selling basically the plastic airsoft bbs specifically for tire balancing (at a greatly increased price) but their website listed the recommended amount to throw in what type/size of tire. i fully plan to throw a pile in my 40s for the YJ since i hope to drive it a little.

I've had them up over 50mph, still drives smooth, no unbalanced tire feeling. The Iroks they replaced...not so much |

Oh yeah, we did plenty.
The usual problems one tends to run into on those cases: 1.) The offset of the wheel makes it so static is really only possible and/or its just enough attempting dynamic ends up with them too close together and it's moot anyway 2.) The wheel weights, even after rigorous cleaning, brushing, etc. don't want to stick to well (especially in the cold). 3.) You get them to stick, they seem rather secure (even after maybe using a heat gun to get the adhesive to really grab), and they get tossed off after X amount of miles due to adhesive failure, mudding, etc. etc. I have stick on weights on the Raceline's on my F-350...but it's a 7.3, leafs, etc. I don't expect it to ride like glass (though it does ride pretty damn nice for the most part). Yeah, not planning on doing anything on the rig. It doesn't see speed regularly enough for it to even be warranted. When it does see speed, it either drives just fine (on road), or its aired down and doesn't matter anyhow. Gotta love rallying across rocks in aired down 40's, on ORI's, that would normally destroy a regular rig |

I tossed about 12-16 ounces in each of my 37's on my Scrambler w/ Rock Monster double beadlocks...never had an issue.
Just the cheap airsoft bb's, not that magic overpriced special stuff

I've got some balancing beads I won in a raffle from H.D. Offroad (NAXJA Event).
They've been sitting on my shelf for like 3 years now |

the TJ front tires have a wobble to them that's getting worse, and i'm pretty sure it's the ****ty steel wheels bending AGAIN. i'm trying to keep from buying new 8-lug wheels adapters to install the beadlocks on the D30 ... but at some point wheel imbalance is the most annoying and noticeable thing around you! also blows my mind that more places don't have road force balancing. now i gotta find a new shop again :bang: |

Bending where? I beat the sh1t out of my steel wheels and they never missed a beat as far as straightness and balance. I had to hammer the bead lips back quite a few times but they never bent in a way that affected balance/wobble.

Yeah, that is really surprising for a street queen.

i already had two get bad enough that i needed to designate one spare only, and buy another. that was before the new rear axle and when i swapped on the beadlocks things got noticeably better again. |
