Default New tires & Wheels... TPMS question

Ordered my lift kit, new tires & wheels the other day. The tires are coming mounted and balanced on the new wheels. My plan was to break the tires loose from the wheels without removing them. Then transfer the TPMS sensors from my old wheels.
Got me to thinking... Will the weight of the sensor throw off my balance?
Also getting the Procal, so maybe I should just eliminate the sensor?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

TPM's? You don't need no stinkin TPM's! I already had the ProCal so I just used that to get rid of them all together, just set the pressure threshold to zero.
Just have find out your tires are low/flat he old fashioned way!

Yea that's what I was thinking. I'm keeping my stock tires so I can always do it later if need be.
