Wheel balancers on 1 ton truck

As I await for my new 1 ton Ram Diesel to be built, I was wondering about putting on Centramatic balancers. I had a set on my 36' Class A and it really smoothed out the ride. Has anyone been there, done that? Opinions are greatly appreciated.

I run them on my f450 . Only thing I don't like is they are noisy at slow speeds.

I bought new tires for my 04 dually after noticing cupping on a front tire so I bought a set of Centramatics for the front. Quite a difference with the new tires so I added a set on the rears. Smoother riding, fixed a problem I never knew I had. One downside, you have to remove the outer wheel and balancer to air up the inner tire. There are slots in the balancers which are worthless.

Never heard them once when going slow, but my truck is noisy.

Thanks for the responses. I'm not getting a dually, so that eliminates that issue. I'm also deaf as a doorknob, or so my wife says, so I probably won't hear the noise either. Looks like there might be a set in my future.
