I was specifically told, by Mickey Thomson, NOT to road force balance Baja boss ATs.
What was their reasoning? Not trying to start an argument, just poked around and found a couple of instances were people claimed road force balancing fixed their balance issues that dynamic balancing could not with their MT Baja Boss A/T's?

They didn’t say. I should have asked. It was 2022. My 5th wheel is actually off balance currently. I blew it off the wheel in Moab. I had a shop remount and balance, but it’s way off. They said they balanced it at 40psi, which I theorize is the issue. I need to get it remounted again anyway, as the TPMS in that wheel failed.

currently shopping for a lift, balancer, mounter, and alignment rack. A buddy and I are planning on opening a 4x4 shop in Southern MD.
Need to contact a local Bendpak dealer. Buy once, cry once

If he is 100% disabled with the VA, there are programs with the vocational rehab programs for equipment.......but I'm not 100% versed on that program. If you need assistance, let me know and I can research from my end

I have beadlock wheels on the Jeeps and you can hand mounted them in your garage with a little effort. I threw in a bag of balance beads and everything has been fine. Last ones I did were on my wife's JLUR and we are running Dirty Life beadlock wheels and AMP 37" tires. Also, I am a rep for Dirty Life and AMP as well as Body Armor so let me know if I can help anyone out with anything.

I seriously considered Beadlocks just for the self service. I decided I wanted to save weight as I’m heavy already.
