    I tried Pughs road force balancing on Firetower on my last set of tires and they could never get it right.. they just told me it was the best they could do. Pretty much saying fuck off, they were done.
    I know road force balancing is the way to go though. Need a reputable shop to go to that'll keep doing it until it's correct..

    On a side note, anyone know where to get center console covers for under $20?
    There used to be a guy that made them but has been MIA since last year.

    You've got terrible luck, also the last shop that "tried" I didn't pay, till they got it right. Pugh's in Washington handled my duratracs no problem even if it did take them an hour.

    Hows the Shoulder Steven? Adjusting to scratching your ass with the other hand well yet?

    Bah, I've taken the suspension apart on my truck so many times now I could do it in my sleep, just did dakars myself twice after I put a bolt in backwards :) I'll come do the leafs in no time with some extra hands on deck :) 252 341 4387 text me with a time when its set i'll drop by.

    IF you want to test stock vs lift come to Uwharrie on the 8th me and the lil monster will be there.

    Hardest part was learning to wipe my ass with my left hand. Never been done in 20 years :rofl:

    Last time I checked with them, they wanted $99 to do road forced balancing on all 4. Everywhere else was $60ish
