Couldn’t find a tire shop open on Sunday to change out my rims for me so I went old school on them. Lol. I threw balance beads in them as well. I love those beads man. So simple and eliminates the need for a tire shop.

I didn't do anything for the porprtioning valve. lugnut4x4.com claims there is no need for one if you are using there jb6 calipers. time will tell but my immediate impression is that it brakes better than ever

I mount my own tires as well... easy really. I've run countless used tires and never had much issue with balance. Sometimes a little vibration at certain speeds. Once was pretty bad so I let the air out and spun the tire half a turn on the rim and it was good.

Remember bro to re-torque those U bolts, and everything else too.

The calipers do not have an e brake on them. I will be installing an e brake on either the tcase or line locks.

Excellent... I want all three ebrakes.. I have Cadillac calipers (from lugnut) but want a manual disc on the T case AND line lock. Can't trust a line lock for any period of time, but for winching a Ford out of hell man you can't beat all 4 tires locked up.
