    Curious if anyone has seen this issue before. Tried to do some research but only found that the wheel bearings may be going out, with less than 30k on it I find that hard to believe. Just mounted 285/70r17 grabber at2s last week, noticed the humming and wrote it off as an aggressive tire hum, but then I noticed that it was only while on the throttle. If I'm coasting at any speed, it goes away, but once I tap the gas, it sounds like the tires are dragging almost. Any input?

    Have you checked the wheel bearings? Pretty easy and quick to rule that out. Wouldn't be the first guy to blow some out before 30k.

    Lifted? Any other recent mods? The fact the sound goes away when you let off the throttle makes me think it's mechanical in some way.

    Drive line angle? Something like that?

    I leveled it a month ago, the sound came once the new tires went on. If the bearings were shot, it would make noise under any kind of movement, as long as the axle is moving the bearings are moving, notnjust under acceleration, correct? I'm taking it to a shop Friday because they screwed up the alignment as well (too much camber) and im hoping this reveals an issue once it's on the lift. I'll check out the bearings regardless (can't pinpoint a side it sounds like it's all 4 tires humming) but was hoping to think of something else.

    Driveline angle shouldn't be off, 2" lift and 33s seems to be a popular set-up, would think someone else would've had that issue too if that were the case
