Find a different shop - one that sells truck tires.

Most Discount Tire stores will be able to do it.

My guess is that the store you wnet to is just lazy and doesn't want to mess with them

yep, go to a different shop...one with a large stash of weights, it'll take a bunch <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I Use centramatic automatic wheel balancers. They balance my tires ever time i drive. work great! <IMG SRC="smilies/skull.gif" border="0">

Do a search in the General 4x4 Discussion area. This was discussed at length last week.

Discount can do it. Depending on the tire, you'll just have to live with a certain amount of unbalance.

My 36 TSL Radials balanced nice. My 36 SX won't balance for shit.

I just had a local hole in the wall shop balance my new Swamper TSL's. Mount and balance for only $10 (!), took a sheitload of weight, but the ride great.(well...for Swampers <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> )and no waiting. The Discount Tire by me takes forever <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0"> to do anything. But they DO offer sipping for ten dolla a tire...

Find a shop that will apply balance patches to the inside of the tire. These will truly balance the tire. Lead weights on the wheels usually are not enough, and they get ripped off when your wheeling. Here's the link from Interco's site explaining all of it in detail. http://www.intercotire.com/html/mounting.htm

You also have to deal with the fact that bias ply tires flat spot. Could be this instead of balance. Swampers are really bad about it.

So they have enough weight in them to balance 36" swampers? Did you just need 2 for the front or 4? Oh yea what did they run ya?

I have the radials they are not balanced and they don't shake a bit,go figure!

Hey Brimy311, got any head on pics of your Jeep? I would like to see how far out your new axles are. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> TIA
