Been thinking about trying to do it myself...
The pics are great on your project... keep em coming

this is excellent stuff for providing a smooth action under high pressure 
keyway installed:
balancer on:
installed keyway shot:
I wasn't sure about how to install the new damper so I just followed Innovatives instructions which was to apply red loctite liberally around the crank snout/damper ID to prevent the two metals from direct contact, I did use anti-sieze on the keyway as well

yes I considered the ATI but it was a few dollars more than the Innovative. I don't know if ATI has a truck balancer available yet (probably so at this point)
I sent a stock GM damper in to Innovative for my current 8"/8rib setup, so I know for sure they have what they need to make a truck balancer in any configuration you'd like.
