Tire Balancing
Morning All,
I just purchased a 2026 E450 with the air suspension and I feel the tires are a bit out of balance. I found a local shop that has a Hunter Roadforce Elite balancer. Will the shop need to do anything unique when removing the wheels due to the air suspension? I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee with the air suspension and I remember that you had to change a setting prior to removing the wheels or damage would occur. Any insight would be great.
Thanks!

There is a great tire place near me. Radial Tire in Silver Spring MD. They do all my tire work. Perfect road force balance every time. Smooth at 100+ Probably better than the dealer would do.
