are you spinning 5k rpm's?? I dont think its really necessary for a street truck...if you think your truck runs rough maybe try a Fluiddamper harmonic balancer.

well i got my block and i went ahead and told him to balance the rods pistons and crank. i figured i might as well since im in there and it should run smoother get better mileage and last longer. where did you have your bottom end balanced for 30 dollars its going to run me 465 bucks
