Most sets of Boggers we get from Interco have weight pads glued to the inside of the tire at the light area from the factory, helps balance them pigs. They still don't get a epic amount of weight, I've had M/T tires take more.

I'm probably going to end up trying beads and seeing how it goes.

I didn't know that thank you. I unfortunately wasn't there when they were mounted, so I don't know if there are any in these. I just didn't expect a radial tire to be such a pain to balance.

i have bb's in my 33 trxus on a tj, they do alright, i probably could've used more tho.
don't forget to throw in some anti-seize with the bb's.

find a reputable shop that does balancing and truing.. my buddy has 37" trxus's on his tacoma and it rides like a caddilac (with truing and balancing).. not a single vibe or hop with 9" of lift on 37's. it rides like a stock toyota just way up in the air..I have never ridden in a truck as smooth as his. i use to have some 35x15.50's tsl/sx's on 12" wide rims on my f150 it rode like a champ, smooth as glass. they were trued and balanced with a dust way back in the day. Ive spent enough $$$ on tires over the years to go pay cash for a brand new car. ive always had my swampers trued. I had a 83 toyota on 44's with a 350 back in 98. had them trued and it rode awesome stepped down to a 42 after that and didnt have them trued and it sucked

Personally I'd rather try the BB thing as opposed to hammering weights on those wheels. Tires like that wear too fast and within no time they'll all be unbalanced again (to a point). I have 34/12.5 Trxus MT's on my Jeep, and even used they ballanced up alright (worst one needing 7.5oz), but it's been a year and they already could use another balance.. thinking of trying the BB thing as I've heard a lot of good reviews on it.
