My bfgs ta don't seem a good combination with this wheel with what I've read on the fj cruiser forums, so I'm going back to stock.

Ohhh, gotcha. The way I read the Craigslist ad it made it sound like you were selling the truck. Have you considered selling the tires and keeping the wheels/spacers? Seems like it'd be a pretty similar "net investment"
 
"Going back to stock so selling all my goodies of my car."

What else are you selling?

Thought about that, but im currently chasing down a vibration in my car. So I just put on my stock wheels and the vibration is worse, which confirms that theres nothing wrong with the trd beadlocks or spacers.

Vibrations are no good. If you're talking about the tires that I've seen on your truck before, you could have just swapped one tire out of balance for another. Those things were pretty worn if memory serves.

What's the vibration like? Is it speed sensitive? Happen during braking?

I have a set of BFG TA KO from January 2015, so barely 8,000 miles on the tires. The vibration happens at 45mph and 65mph, I'm going to replace the tie rod ends next with an alignment.

Wait, did you move your kos to the stock wheels? I read that as you put on your factory wheels and your old procomps. If the vibration got worse and you changed your tires over to the factory wheels, then I'd believe it'd be your tires as the issue. I ran KOs for 40k and they always had a vibration. New tires solved the problem.

You are probably right. Now that I have gone back to stock, I will make Discount tire replace a tire since they have a year warranty. They were blaming the wheel spacers and wheels, which weren't the problem.

Good call... Make sure they have one of those new Hunter road force balancing machine. It's a little different machine than your typical balancer and does a better job and placing the weights. I had mine road forced balanced and it helped reduce the vibration but it never entirely disappeared.

Also, if you can get it to a point where it's "livable," don't balance your tires at every rotation. Only balance them when needed. I ran my Nittos on my Tundra without any sort of wobble for about 50k miles and they were only balanced once but rotated every 5k.

Best of luck and post up what your findings are.
