wow, $110 is insane! I had thought it was $60 from them :(
The only other option that I know of is to make an enclosure out of sheet metal and use a 6 position switch panel from otrattw.com VM6-01 $9.30. or you could mount it to the left side of the lower dash like noroad did.
I emailed daystar about making a upper windshield mount with more than just 5 switches, but never heard back from them :(

Do I need these? I know my buddy mounted his MTRs and needed no balancing on his slabs. I will also be running 37" MTRs with Slabs.

Or can I just go to a Sears to have them balanced or a local Jeep JK friendly location?

If you have access to scale that does ounces (postal scale) ;)
go to walmart and buy the biggest bottle of airsoft bb's- usually less than $15. One big bottle will do 4 tires @ 10-12 ounces each

Who has a suggestion or idea for a 6-switch panel. Only one I can find is Spod and they want $110 shipped just for the Panel kit!!! Insane if you tell me thats 25% of the kit price. I already have a power distro custom system...

Mine was about 120$ ish!

Figure out how much you want in each wheel, start pouring into a fountain cup, weigh it, then the cup into the wheel (with one bead broken from the rim) reseat bead. done. move onto the next tire.
I bought 2 of the biggest bottles from wal-mart, and did 11 oz in 5 tires using just under 1 of the bottles (guessing it was a 4 lb bottle)
