Hello Everyone,

Looks like I'm going to have to pull the trigger on some new tires, and I was curious if you guys have any preferences or shop recommendations who will work on beadlocks.

Because of liability fewer and fewer shops will mount tires, but even less will balance them. Use the bean bag balancing and mount them yourself. It's not hard. I just hate dismounting them, which is why I stopped running them..

My tires are balanced using bean bags filled with sand. If you look at my rims, there aren't any weights on them at all.
They work much better that I expected.

Yes, they are place in the tires. I believe I have two sets in my tires.

On The Road Trucks in Rocklin will mount and balance beadlocks. They estimate between $200-300.

Um...what?

Thanks for all the responses guys. I ended up going to Big O in Cameron Park. Similar to On The Road Trucks, they were price between 200 & 300 (w/tightened bolts laughing)
