Default Vibration

Anyone getting vibration in the steering wheel during highway speeds after lift with bigger tires?

Rebalance wheels and tires?
Drive Shaft?

Hoping to get some advice on this matter.

thanks!

"Bigger Tires" = Heavier ... so even more a reason for Road Force Balancing ... something that IMO is mandatory for the Toyota Body-on-Frame platform.

Also, does "bigger tires" also mean aftermarket wheels ? ... that are hopefully "Hub Centric" (106.1mm) ?

If the vibration was not there before upgrading to bigger tires and the steering wheel wobbles (side to side) then the most likely cause is the lateral runout of the (aftermarket ???) rims.

Start with Road-Force-Balancing ... will pinpoint issue ... imbalance, out-of-round, runout ... plus is simply more accurate given the the tire is loaded during the process.
