What sort of gears are you running? And was there any sort of warranty with his work? And thanks again! One thing I've found to be great about the wrangler community is the sense of brother(and sister)hood. Everyone is always helpful. I have the 2.5L in my Jeep and 33's, so I went with 4.88 (which ...

I bought my gears and install kits here: http://completeoffroad.com/. I then had rusty install them for me. He was very quick and did an excellent job. It's been 4 or so years ago, so I don't remember the exact prices. Give him a call and ask, he's very personable. Also, Welcome!

The dynabeads can be installed by taking out the air valve core then inserting them. The airsoft pellets are bigger and have to be inserted by breaking the bead of the tire/wheel and putting them in.

From what I've been reading, this seems to work for some and not for others. I'll be running TJ Moabs with 285/75-16 Duratracs so pretty mild stuff. It just seems that it's hard to get someone that knows how to actually balanace a tire now adays. My last set was road forced balanaced over at Gywnn t...

We've had a few old threads about this, so let get some updates. I'm about to throw some new tires/wheels on the Jeep and was weighing my options.

What size of tire and brand
How many ounces used
What did you think of them
