I had my 11.00s and combat wheels spin-balanced on the Carryall. They did it at a shop the same way they do big trucks. The equipment they used looked pretty old. They jacked up one tire at a time and placed a sensor under the axle near the wheel. The sensor flashed a strobe light on the tire when the heavy spot passed a certain point. I watched the guy do it. He seemed very conscientious about his work,adding and removing weights for the best result. I pulled the rear axle shafts so the lock-right would not interfere with the process. I still have a lot of vibration going down the road. I suspect some wheels may be bent or the balance job was not entirely accurate.
I’ve thought that one day when I have a big bag of money, I would like to find a place like Stockton Wheel to straighten and balance my wheels.
I started a new post above on my bubble balancer.
