    Ok, so long story short. I got rid of my 35 inch tires and went to a 33 when I did this, my truck started making this sound. It is really loud from 15-40 I thought it was my tires but from all the tests iv done it is 100% not them. Iv had them rebalanced 3 times and even switched them out with my brothers tires. Anyone ever experience this? There is a vibration with each humm I have a 6inch lift with coilovers. But it's closer to a 4.5 inch lift.

    Iv been told this is a needle bearing issue. But from the research iv done that can go away if I switch to 4H. Iv tried that while driving and the sound or vibration are still very present.

    The sound seems to match the speed of the wheels , not the speed of the driveshaft . If I had to guess .....wheel bearing issues .

    I guess it could be. Because it dosent go away in 4high or low. But it also dosent do the growling when turning or what not. I replace those first probably I guess.

    No , please do not purchase wheel bearings yet !
    Dont spend money on parts you dont need . My guess was wheel bearings using your sound recording but I dont have the opportunity and benefit of road testing your truck . Get a couple guesstimates before you drop your cash . Let someone take your truck for a free test drive .
    Do you not have a transmission shop nearby ? Those guys diagnose your type of sound every day .
    Call them up and ask them if they test drive for free . A second opinion with a drivetrain technician driving your truck will seriously narrow the issue down .Even with your sound recording , wheel bearings were an internet best guess .
    There is nothing like being there in person and test driving before any conclusions should be made . Been at Tacoma World for a couple years and got caught once trying to help a guy with a noise he recorded . Ended up costing him some money. Thats not a chance I am willing to take again .
