That came out very very nice but I have a quick question and not sure if it was mentioned but how well can the tire be balanced after? Do you think it makes a huge difference after?

The don't drive them on the road all that often so doesn't matter much, If yours is a DD then I'd try some daisy BBs or some airsoft pellets. I'm running 8 oz of dynabeads with 8 oz of antifreeze in my 31s and it balances them. They're wore all crazy and it still balances them up to about 85, but any higher than that and they no balanced until I added in the antifreeze.

That's crazy though how dynabeads and some coolant would balance it

Well everything I have done I have posted. I will be welding another set soon and will post pics how they set in before I welded. But once I get all 4 wheels ground down and tires on I will post more pics. Hey it's so easy my wife could do it if she could weld. Very simple. I was expecting a huge task and that it was not
