    Stick ons but you should try the balancing beads. I've heard nothing but good things about them

    I haven't had issues but each require very different amounts of weight.. I can get some pics later of mine its crazy how inconsistent they are. But i've never had an issue with the stickies. I get them rebalanced 3 maybe 4 times a year but never couldn't balance them.

    What do you use to get the old sticky weight residue off? Mine have so much of that shit on.

    gunk off would probably do the trick. soak a scotch bright pad with it and should get the tough stuck on residue

    Welded on the bumper reinforment plates today. I'd like to drill some holes in the middle and weld that area in for some extra strength

    Man, you are a quitter.

    Better get used to doing these if you plan on running 37s. Just sayin'

    You have to cut them if you can't "slide hammer" beat them out.

    I didn't feel like screwing with it. I have a shop account with a local driveline shop so I just send my stuff there on the cheap. I didn't have a tube lying around to do the slide hammer method either. Nor do I feel like cutting them

    Started taking apart my lights to do the retrofit. Color matched everything and smoked reflectors.

    Its insane how much the "smoke out" paint is for the reflectors.. When Dakota got mine it was like $16 for a can
