Tire vibration

nicbry · 08-31-2008, 05:56 AM

I have put on a set of Mickey Thompson 325/65 18 on my 2006 2500. Have a 2" leveling kit, Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks set at level 3, DSS stabilizer and Fox steering damper. Have had these tires since April and can not get the vibration to stop. Balanced 3X, tried balancing beads and now ready to give up. I have ordered Toyo AT 285/75 18 to try a smaller tire as an alternative. This is very frustrating. I don't expect the truck to ride like a Cadillac but the steering and vehicle vibration at 65mph+ is not normal. Any advice? Anyone want to buy the Mickey Thompsons - they look great and ride well under 65mph.

You might try posting in the 3rd gen section. More people will see it there.
The other thing I'd try is drop each driveshaft out and try it. You might have a driveshaft angle problem, and this will eliminate that.
You'll need to use 4X4 when you drop the rear one. Might need it for the front one too.
