I have used it in 3 sets of dually tires, I will never use old fashioned weights again. With internal balance the tire is automatically balanced for the life of the tire. As the tire wears and changes, it remains balanced. Lead weights are only right when you balance them, every day you drive the tire wears and the lead weights are losing effectiveness. That's why you are supposed to rebalance them every year.
DynaBeads and CounterAct are two of the bigger names in the business. You can actually use a lot of different things, I've even heard of guys using antifreeze!
In addition to not scratching the finish of an expensive wheel, they also provide for a nice clean look. Rim weights or even stick on weights that are visible detract from the beauty of the wheel.

I'm going to add a picture of a crewcab here so Tito doesn't get mad at me for going offtopic ;>

Are people doing it on purpose to have the parking lights and turn signals down in the bumper? I don't think the factory did that in 86. Mine looks like that now, it's an 82. I've already ditched the hideous 82 egg crate grill in favor of an 87 style (my favorite), I do have a new bumper but I won't change it until I gather together the pieces to put the park/turn lights behind the grill. Just wondering. It actually doesn't look bad on any of these trucks, but I'm still changing mine because the 82 bumper is rusty and the 87 one is new.

I love your truck! Nice job! How well do those tires work once you get off the road?

At first I was like hey I've seen that setup! Then I saw that you were from Oklahoma. :lol: I'm here in Noble by Thunder Valley.

Since everyone is posting pics of complete crew cabs, here is a couple pics of my brother's rust free cab he picked up for $300. He got the frame and front suspension as well. Does anyone need any 2wd front suspension stuff? This will be a 4wd. The rear doors are beautiful and I think he got them for another $250. He purchased the DRW bed from the guy for $450 and while loading it the guy dented the RH side pretty bad and told him too bad. Then when we unloaded it, I saw the floor supports are all rusted out. It was supposed to be a rust free bed.

Yes it is. I was extremely lucky to find it for him in this state. Man, you should see his other cab. :lol: It is severely bad! I'm trying to guess the year of his new cab.............. I'm going to guess 75 or 76. Anyone else have any guesses?

Thanks for that. I'll see if the cab still has a VIN tag on it.
