Matt I used a 3" shackel kit off of ebay. I saw an artical in the 7.3 forum. That is how I found them. So far I might have a 100 miles on the tires. I got jacked on the mounting and balacing. I have to talk to the manager tomorrow. I would have done it on Monday but I was traveling.
Have you ever heard of $182 to mount and balance 4 315/75/16 tires. They charged me $18 each for mounting and $20 each for balancing. I had a few choice words for the guy at the counter.

Wow!!!
The highest I've ever heard was $20 for mount and balance.
Lately I've been getting my tires Balanced at Wal-Mart...Think it cost $5 to dismount old tire and mount new, but they have a Life Time Balance for $7.50
They aren't the best place to get them done at, but I watch over them every time and make sure they do it how I want.

I have a local shop that usually mounts and balances for $15. He was busy and I decided to go to another shop that I have done a lot of buisness with. I know the manager and he has always been good to me. He commented on my tires and said they looked good. It was on Friday evening so he left around 4:00. It was about 4:30 when they finished. I hope it will all work out. If not I will make a big public mess out of it.
