    if your feeling it in the steering wheel, its most likely alignment. i see that you have the shocks set at 0 but the springs still give roughly 1.5" of lift. maybe just enough to make it noticeable

    oh i just realized i failed to mention gas pedal as well. but I will for sure get an alignment soon then. I really only got about an inch maybe a bit more from this set up.

    if you didnt get an alignment done yet, that is likely why you have vibes

Michelin 265/75/16 MS2's, Grillcraft MX series/TOYOTA badging. FJ/SE TRD Anthracite gray wheels. Katzkin leather/heated seats.
    I have the same exact set up. No vib issues what so ever. I am running Michelin MS2's 265/75/16's.
    What tire size are you running?

    Have you had them balanced lately?

    If you are running really aggressive tires, they sometimes need balancing a little more often than less aggressive tires.

    Also, your profile says you run a Westin sportmans guard? Is that like the brush guard? You may want to check and make sure that its secured nice and tight. Had a Westin on my FJ Cruiser and it gave me some front end vibs even after I tightened it down. Never had the issue until I added it.
    I could actually see that it had a very mild shake while driving on a not so smooth road. Not saying thats the problem, but it could be worth checking into. I won't be installing one on this truck. Just my preference.

    Hope this helps, drop me a PM if I can help.

    also check your tires. my camry had a vibrating issue and the tires were balanced and aligned but the tire threads were cracked. maybe check that also?
