I have an '01 F350 crew 4x4. I bought my Michelin tires from a commercial tire shop who spin balanced them. If they did anything unusual to spin them I didn't notice. As you appear to know, I got a different set of lug nuts. The bigger problem arose later, I couldn't find a valve stem extension that would work for the outside alum wheel where the stem can't be used with a standard offset truck gauge. I am adverse to long extensions anyway because I had a charter bus and tried them on my inside duals and vibration would cause the stem to break off. I solved the problem by using a Cats-eye dual wheel system set for 100#. I notched the plastic hub covers and mounted the center piece under a screw that holds the cover on. Now I have one easy to access stem and a nifty indicator that tells me at a glance where I am relative to the 100# mark. PM me if you need more info.
