What?!?!?! That's crazy. I guess for liability reasons, but come on. LOL

You could could always just take the wheels/tires off and do a "carry-out" balance maybe. My dad has done that before with tires that needed repair (nails, etc.) It comes back on the invoice as "Carry-out".

Yeah it is crazy but the front tires are really low profile althought they ride suprisingly well. I bought the wheels and tires off craigslist so I will go with a beefier front tire when these wear out.

I am wanting to take it to a shop in Dallas I have used in the past. He can do the rearend and driveshaft. I have a lot of money in this set up but may change to a one piece driveshaft. I will get their opinion on my set up and see. I wish they were closer I would get it done this week.
