Nope. Static (bubble) , but I take them to the local tire shop to spin balance my personal stuff. Many times they balance them for free do to the volume of business I bring in :mg:
They get all my truck and equipment service work. The big stuff is hard work. I'd rather pay to have that done.

If there is room, go for it. I don't remember how much I had left in this picture-

Reed, the 3 inch adapters from complete value are not hub centric. His reguler price is $90.00 so if he gives me half price that will be $45.00 + $10.00 for shipping and then the cost to ship them to you. Let me Know what you wan't to do and then I can email him back.

Reed I agree, 3" spacers will help....but it looks like you're having the same problem I've been having. One tire sits further out than the other. You tried anything to fix that? I'm about to install Justin's shackles. I'm hoping that the cheapies I installed from A-zone were the culprit. I'll post on my findings if I ever get a chance to put them on.

I think it is camera angle. If, it is off, I would just loosen the bed bolts and move the rear of the bed to even it out.

Only problem with mine is that my bed is perfectly aligned with the cab... :(

Reed, I checked a fully stuffed wheel today. You should have room. I had over an inch of space left between the side wall and fender lip.
You're good to go with 3" spacers :mg:
