    Just a bit of context. I've been driving my stock Tacoma for about 8 months, but I decided to put in a lift and bigger wheels and tires about 5 months ago. I ended up getting a 2" OME lift along with 17" Method NV 305 wheels and Falken Wildpeaks 275/70r17 LT tires.

    Obviously, with bigger tires and lift, there'll be a bit of performance changes. I notice that there's a bit more vibration in the steering wheel, especially at higher speed, like from 70mph and faster. I'm guessing that part of the vibration is also from the beefier tire threads hitting pavement, because driving at around 15mph, I can feel the vibration slows to a lower hum.

    I recently went on vacation and was driving a rental KIA sedan, and I noticed how silent and smooth the drive was, compared to my tacoma. I understand driving a sedan is not the same as driving a truck, but it got me thinking if there's anything I can do to help mitigate the vibration.

    I've been perfectly happy with how my tacoma performs, but for the sake of discussion and learning, I'm curious to know if you guys have any thoughts. I'm still riding stock Upper Control Arms, would getting bigger UCA helps with the vibration?

    Thank you in advance for any input you guys may have.
