I have a 04 Scb 4x4 and I just installed 2.5"AS and 18x9 Moto's with 33/13.50 ProComp Extreme AT's, now I have a little bit of vibration in the steering wheel. Do I need to put on a steering damper,aka steering stabalizer? It didnt have any of this vibration b/f. What do you guys think>

 

Did you check wheel alignment after the lift, etc.? Also, recheck the tire/wheel balance.

alignment...thats the only thing thats wrong...

 

Probably just a rebalance.

 

I watched them balance the wheels and I had the stealership do the alignment, and its still there.

 

I got mine balanced and aligned...and it took care of 95% of the problem. It is intermittently there. But I have heard its very hard to get these trucks perfectly balanced/aligned with aftermarket wheel/tire combos.

 

I also forgot to mention that I just had a new tranny put in it under warranty. Is there something that the stealership could have screwed up??

also the shaking is now all over the truck. The whole thing rattles like it is going to come apart from 45-65

 

My tranny was replaced last week on my 05 and now it shakes(the whole truck) when I'm going around 50-70 my truck has always had the steering wheel shimmy but now the whole truck vibs with the steering wheel shimmy I'm going back to the dealer again

 

check for mud and stuff in your wheels....that'll cause a shimmy...but not the extreme vibrations that you've got ferguson41 and zekeman...._motes

 

May sound silly, but my E-brake wasnt releasing 100% after I would use it on a few occasions. I'd start vibrations at about 45-55 and feel like the wheels were gonna just fall off. I'd make sure your E-Brakes not hanging up since they replaced your transmission they may have used it at the dealership.

I found out that's what mine was doing when I had my truck on a level P.Lot and let off the brake and she wouldnt roll forward or backwards. Put it in "N" and tried to push it... still hard as hell to push. Played with the E-Brake.. set it hard a few times, hit the release, set the brake again, put in "D" rev it up to about 1300-1500 and then hit the release. After that she started rolling on her own and no problems since then! No more vibrations either, and that was a little over a month or two ago.

Worth a shot!

 

I took it back to the dealer and they said that the front drive was not put back exactly how it came out. They said that since out shafts are balanced that they have to be placed back exactly how they came out,. No shake now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
