Balancing

Hey guys. 2008 F350 w/ 6 " lift and 37 x 18 tires. The local shop that installed the tires, put in the beads. I am not really sure how much of them (5 oz, 12 oz) but I still get a little shake on the highway like they are still out of balance. Does anybody know how much you are really supposed to put it. This is the only place around for 80 miles that can do it but they just dont do tires like this enough that they understand how much they are supposed to do. thanks.

wrong forum, but welcome to FTE... there isn't a set rate of how much weight to put on the rims... it all depends on how out of balance the tires are!!
