Can't balance my method nv's

Is it digital ? and is digital better ? Wheels will be going on by the end of the month. Waiting for Vince caps .

The mechanical torque wrenches at HF are $9.99 with a coupon. You will need the 1/2" one (20-150 ft lbs.) plus no tax in Salem NH. Ymmv.

Brown Line Metalworks was the vendor. I have their digital torque wrench. It's pretty good, gets a little sketchy up around 150lb-ft but plenty of leverage.

I like it. It helps when you have to torque 100 beadlock bolts.

Just to add, I had my tires rotated. The front shook a little before due to cupping of the tires, now since I've had them rotated the front bounces pretty hard between 70-75 so I know it's the torquing of the lugs is the reason.

I need to find some hub rings to help align them easier.

So I went to HFT and baught thr torque wrench, jacks, and a bottle jack for less than 80.00 bucks. Problem is the jack and stands wont get the truck off the ground high enough! So do I use blocks of wood ? I'm not spending 200.00 0n a floor jack, just found jacks that are higher. I may just use the stock jack to set the stands ?

I've been down this ****** road before. Why F with generic wheels?

My learning; I will never again use wheels that are not hub centric for my truck. Period. If they weren't manufactured that way and I'm desperate for different wheels I will have the new wheels machined to accept aluminum hub centric rings.

Look how much time and likely money you've wasted on this. If you still like the wheels find a shop that will install aluminum hub rings. As long as the wheel is not bent this is almost certain to solve you problems.

I have no problems with my method nvs and 35" toyo mts. I don't recommend wood on top of a jack, there's not many flat spots on the frame

Any suggestions on hub rings? I'm running MB TKO wheels, but like options. I know running wheels I had on old GTO hub rings did save alot of wheel alignment headache!

Running method double standards with no Hub rings, road force balanced and torqued on in stair steps. No wobble at any speed, 0-100
