Not asking if it's a good idea for lift, but do you have a valid reason that you need one like planing on some serious off-roading. If so, just plan on them not being perfect. Seems you can't give an honest opinion on this without it being a clown show, but I guess thats how this place is.

this is comical. Like anyone needs a valid reason to modify a vehicle. Come on man, people do all sorts of things to these trucks for shots and giggles. Hell I’m getting ready to lift mine just because I want to and I don’t need to validate my reason to anyone on this board.

As far as clown show…isn’t that the lot calling the kettle black.

So I lifted my 2023 Tacoma trd sport with 2k miles on it with the Westcott Designs preloaded collar lift. It leveled it out with 2.75" in the front and 1" in the rear. I put 285's falcons on with fuel wheels at the same time. I absolutely love the look and ride with no rubbing at all. Only issue is from the day it was installed I get this annoying vibration in the steering wheel when I am coming to a stop starting at around 20mph down to a complete stop. I am also getting some mild vibration around 50mph. Is this the needle bearing issue in the front diff that needs to get replaced with a bushing or something else?
Thanks

Put it in 4x4h - does it go away? If yes then needle bearing. Its an easy fix to have a shop do it.

I would also lean toward the needle bearing. Though under torqued bolts among many other things can cause vibes. I still have to change mine to the ECGS clamshell bushing. many threads on it.

Not saying bad things don't happen but going off my experience, alone, not once in 20 yrs have I needed to use the warranty. IMO after the truck leaves the lot the dealer has to keep making money off that truck somehow by requiring overpriced maintenance schedules in order to keep that warranty.
SCAM.

Do what @JFriday1 said and report back. No 2 trucks are the same, start eliminating this 1st. then CB drop. But could just be new Falcon tires. Not being stock tires.
