    well, I would look into that, but idk if I care to on these. I've followed Treadwrights methods of balancing (static) and will just go with that until they wear out. who the heck knows I could just have a lot of worn out bushings around the truck and it makes it feel that way too. I know my 700# kings make me feel things a bit more as well.

    Would those balancing beads not impact the TPMS inside your tires? I've heard of those beads before, but never knew anyone that actually ran them in their tires.

    If you've got the old plastic part, bet I could print a new one in ABS

    I have that piece on my hi-lift and still put a couple zip ties on there to keep it from rattling.

    I bought a knock off one on eBay. Which is stupid considering I have one of the top end hi-lift jacks....o well.
