Yep. I've got it in my 37x13 Boggers. I waited too long but they made a big difference in the ride. A buddy of mine is a Goodyear shop mgr and he picked up my truck, drove it to the shop, put the Equal in and then drove it back to my house. He said he couldn't believe the difference. I think if I had not run the tires for a year first, they'd be pretty well balanced.

It's not as good as weights but you can't knock the equal off.

I have herd this stuff builds up,gets hard,and as the tire wears get out of balance and then your screwed.You have to buff the crap out of it to make tire patches stick or if it hardens has to be buffed out so you can rebalance a tire.Now this info came from a guy who had big tires and ran mostly freeway miles..just what I herd.. :dunno: :dunno:,,I think I would sta away from it,,just incase,,or find somewone who has for sure run it with no probes through the life of the tire...
Forgiveness is between them and god..
Its my job to arrange the meeting!

hey guys  , the equal works,              :bowdown:
when i worked for the local concrete plant we put it in those HUGE mixer tires, 445/65/22.5's   its about the only thing we could use to balance those things, talk about a "truck" 365HP CAT engine,5spd Allison auto, air shift transfercase, air lockers on all 3 ,yes 3,  axles,   :.order:
6 wheel drive is awesome in a 72,000 lb truck :~~:

I'm trying BB's in my boggers. I've heard a few people who swear by it. I won't have them on for awhile. It's an alternative to equal and you can do it yourself at home.

ive ran equal in 38/12.5 tsl it worked but the 25 dollar per 10 oz bag sucks i would do the bb trick one shot if thay are kinda out and two if they dance on the freeway!!!
(and bbs have 0 chance of coming out of the valve stem when you air down :)
good luck :beer: :beer:
Full hydro, 186:1 with an auto and 44's what could go wrong??

I was going to do a prodfuct review on those for POR, but since POR hasn't posted my past reviews as they said they would, I have to turn them down. seems like a great product!
