Hey guys.
Juast fitted mechanical beadlocks to me truck with 37" maxxis creepy crawlers.
I have some serious wheel wobble at 90kph up i mean death wobbles. :shocking:
She used to run ok with no locks but now my god its killer i either have to go lower than 85kph or sort out the balance issue.
The normal tyre mob cant ballance me beadlocks ive searched her and seen and read about some beads that can be put in .
thing is in Aus all we have is a bag with a grain or sand type substance.
Will this help even if its just another 10kph would be good.
How much would you put in with the bags?
thanks for any advise

I've got bbs in my tires :yupyup: helps out a lot.   I can't even tell that they're there either.  Toss in 2 shotglasses worth of bbs, and you'll be a lot better off (learned that trick from WT)

bb's are small round metal or plastic pellets used in kids air guns...good for squirreel deterent...you could ude bird shot too.
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

Hells yeah, small ball bearings would work perfect.  More smaller bearings will balance better than a few big ones!
