Front Tires

Just added 45 degree extenders and TST flow through sensors to the front tires . Do I need to have them balanced again ? If so can I use the front levelers to raise the front so they can get the tires off ?

I’m pretty sure it is NEVER suggested to use levellers to raise the tires off the ground. They are levellers.....not on board vehicle jacks.

There will be those that say they’ve done it.
Doesn’t make it right, according to the manufacturer.

There is a jacking “pin” on each side of swing arms. If “they” can balance a wheel then “they” should know how to properly lift an E-450 (assumption).
The weight of the sensor and 45* is fairly insignificant so I would not bother unless there was a vibration. In that case I would use balance beads anyway.
