What is taking beads out of tires?

You can use beads in tires to balance them or use weights on wheels. It appears he tried to balance tires with beads and it didn't work so went with wheel weights and vibration ended. So his was a tire balance issue unlike every other fabtech rear lift that makes the driveshaft vibrate.

Went with stop tech slotted and their truck suv pads. $610 for all corners. Should help stop the rolling mass better

Nice, thanks for sharing.
Have you had any previous experience with Stop Tech?
No problem. Yes with their rotors. First time with these pads but rotors have been great so figure pads could be good too. Definitely notice better pedal response already

I’ve used power stop and like the stop tech better so far. Used them on 3 cars now. Thanks man! I try to keep it clean and nice. Eventually I’ll get some coil overs and ditch the auto ride system. Not sure when maybe another year

Final update to the build. I sold the Denali to a friend in Lansing, Michigan. It now will live up there and post pics if you see it around. I’ll be around to answer any questions about lifts or auto ride setup. Sad to see it go but welcome the 2024 duramax Escalade. @Jonah52
