Started noticing lots of suspension noise, as well as just off bushings on the floor of my shop. Turns out the red poly front leaf spring bushings are all but gone. I purchased the ORD greaseable bushing And instill them this past weekend. Install was easy, but i did have to drill out the...

Next, I was sick of getting beat up from my 16yr old bajas. I've also been dailying the truck quite a bit now, 70mph and old rubber was too risky. Since im running dually axles, there is no aftermarket option for wheels in the correct offset unless i have them built. My 12 bolts were far from...

Couple more updates. I finished the Axles. I reached out to carl Jatnz and he hooked me up with a Detroit truTrack for a dana 80 and then some spacers for the bolts since the 80 uses 9/16 and the 70 uses 1/2. Fits in there great, only issue was one axle was too short. I was able to buy a brand...

That sucks, I would contact them and ask them. I mean if it has evidence of being installed, just let them know it had evidence of being installed before you put it on. (Or don't even mention that you installed it yet) I think I found on mine that the main culprit of an imbalance was the rim...

I used A/c o-rings to center the wheel faces, worked great IMO. To balance, I set them out in the sun at 50psi for a few hours. Then i let the air out and rotated the tires on the wheels while on the balancer. Basically this allowed to put the light spot on the tire where either the heavy spot...

Got them dirty today, I really like them!

Thanks

All installed. All balanced to Zero (needed 9, 4, 5 and 6.5oz) No inserts, No beads, i left the hummer rings off for now, and it rides pretty smooth up to 70.

so I decided to try a few different configurations. I've read it's extremely hard to remove the run flats one installed, so for this first try, I installed them without the run flats. The run flats do seem to be quiet pliable, I'm hoping I don't have to issue that you had with the PVC.

Well little update Yes I checked the rim for runout and its very minimal. But when the tire was on there, there was a very noticable run out. This morning, I checked it again and it's down to needing 9oz and the run out looks less. Weird? My hunch is the tire is deformed due to shipping...

Good news, they look amazing on the paired 24 bolts, bad news is, my balancer says it wants 17 Oz... Dangit

Well, my new 24bolts arrived and i picked up some runflats local. I was going to order a set up TWF PVC beadlocks, but they are now $560 SHIPPED. So I think im going to find some PVC local and cut my own. For now, I need to decide runflats, or no run flats. Smoothness is paramount, but i wanna...

How wide are your TWF PVC spacers? I went to install the tires today and put one of my 12 bolts rims on the balancer by itself... Nope https://youtube.com/shorts/1_uqnU4FJ-8?si=_cZH9L255Z7FxeeU I ordered a set of 24 bolts from feltz Trying to decide on inserts. I'm can get local rubber...

Price does fluctuate quite a bit. I've actually check simple tire probably weekly, since before this thread started. I actually did buy them from their eBay store, I had them in my cart for over a month, and then I got a push notification that the price had been lowered. That's what pushed me...

It would appear they are out of stock, but it was at this link : https://simpletire.com/brands/petlas-tires/explero-m-t-pt451#utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=campaign_Transactional_Cart_Abandon_No%20Recs_Email%201 Alternatively, they still show in stock on their eBay store...
