    Wheel load checker?

    I know that a Hydraulic wheel load checker is no where even close to a good set of scales, but will it at least get me in the ball park with my setup? Thanks for any help.

    simple answer is NO.they work ok on regular rims but don't fit on beadlock rims.They don't repeat very well either not to mention the graduation on them isn't fine enough eitherI bought one for at the track usage and now it sits under the work bench collecting dust.

      If in your ball park is 50 to 100 #'s.... yes..... I had one before ANYONE was selling scales....... you can do just about as much with a 3 to 1 lever setup and a walmart bathroom scale........

      find the center of the rearend and use a socket... that's what we did in the REAL OLD DAYS!!!!
