    After a long expensive road of adding a lift and having vibration issues. Finally sold off my lift kit, tires and wheels. Just put on some new ones and couldn't be happier with how she sits stock.
    Only problem I have is when I hit 73 mph on the interstate I get a very noticeable shake in the truck. Is this a wheel imbalance issue? I've already got the ECGS bushing installed to replace the factory needle bearing.

    Yeah sounds like a tire balance issue perhaps

    Had them mounted and balanced by 4 wheel parts.com when I ordered them. Will go and read the tire pressures tomorrow just to make sure they read the same before getting a shop to mount and balance them.

    A wheel weight could have fallen off during packaging, handling, shipping or transport.

    Is the vibration in the steering wheel or seat?

    Whole cab at 73+, if anything is on the seat I can hear moving around. If a cup is in the holder it will be moving around and the hood is visibly moving vibrating as well.

    Do you have wheel spacers?

    Probably the balance is off on them. Steering wheel vibration would be front wheels, seat would be rear wheels. Air pressure shouldn't cause A vibration.

    This statement is confusing.

    There was an option for 4wheelparts.com to mount and balance before shipping, just letting everyone know they weren't done by a local place. Like smitty said a wheel weight may have came off during shipment.

    This photo inspired me 100% I still think yours looks better because of the more aggressive forward lean. Was hoping mine would do the same but it looks more leveled out. I dont know how many times I stared at that damn picture lol.

    Once OEMassive releases their blacked out headlights will be switching over to aftermarket tinted tails too.

    Nah they don't bother me too terribly much. I'd buy OEM painted caps before I'd plastidip them though.

    Look into the diamondback SE tonneau if you ever want a cover. Worth the investment. No regrets.

    Torqued the lugs to 83ftlbs this morning, went for a drive, still had the vibration issues, could hear the passenger seat mounting brackets rattling at around 74-75mph. Brought it in to get the tires rebalanced and there is still a bit of vibration and floatiness going on but I can take it up to 80 without the passenger seat making a sound. Will probably go with a different tire option once the KO2s wear down.
