KOR 2.5" BB + Up Country Springs 225/70-16 Direstone Destination LEs (ordering 265/75-16 Wrangler MT/Rs)

Rough Country long arm upgrade
Iron Rock 5.5" coils
Dunlop Mud Rovers 35X12.5X15
Heres how it currently stands, still need to measure for shocks.
Still need to adjust the long arms for a little more stretch and clearance for the front and back. Tires rub a lot.

rules: one picture per setup
list the lift height and tire size
level ground please
this will help people in choosing where they want their jeep to be, and to avoid future "what will my jeep look like with XX" of lift and XX" tires.

good thread to start in the ZJ section since more and more of us are using them for off roading. I posed a balance question in the XJ section but did not get any responses. the question was using BB's to balance tires. when I worked in the Landfills I had truck that we only put off road tires on and never balanced them. but when I took it on road it would vibrate so my solution was to use slime in the tires which did balance them out pretty good. also helped with nails and such.
so back to my question, I did a Google search and found that several people have used BB's to balance their tires. most have used quality airsoft BB's because they tend to last longer than regular BB's, and seems to be mainly focused on people with large tire sizes. there are also charts out there on how much weight to use for your sized tire. mine came in between 6-8 ounces per tire.
since I already have regular BB's I figure I will use those. has anyone done something similar and can you comment on this? my plan was to remove the core and simply pour in the BB's provided they will fit (hopefully).

I was thinking about my landfill days and decided to try water rather than BB's. this way all I had to do was pull the core and inject water in the tire. I measured out 7 oz and marked it on a bottle and used that as a reference for filling the tires. I took the jeep out for a quick spin after and it seemed to roll a little smoother but it could be only in my head. I plan to drive it later this week for a more comprehensive test.
