Thanks! I thought you bought a set last month. You haven't gotten them installed yet?

Sweet looking set up ! Than you for sharing!PRESTO! I got them installed today with set of Toyo Open Country AT3's in 275/70-17". Fit like a glove and the Iridium Grey really compliments the Rapid Red.
If anyone is on the fence about these wheels, they seem to be really top notch. I for one are very impressed with the quality and finish.

Yes it has a 2.5" level up front. No rubbing at all.

FINALLY got ‘er done! Roush wheels, Nitto Recon Grappler 285/70/R17 116T’s, ReadyLift Intrusion beams, Eibach Pro Truck 1.0 level kit. I’m an idiot and did that Eibach kit myself. Took ALLLLLLLL day yesterday. Couldn’t get the Eibach springs compressed enough to fit so I resorted to re using factory springs and 2.25” setting. I wanted the 3” front lift…. I was not a fan of reusing the spring mounts- definitely worth it to buy a proper adjustable 2.0 kit. FYI. Still though, no rubbing! I have a set of Eibach 1” rear blocks just in case.
Finding a local tire shop willing to mount the tires was a chore! All in all - super happy with this setup.

Oh and the Eibach kit was mis-packed with the wrong rear shocks- so I will have to fight with them/Stage 3 on Tuesday.

I think I have sufficiently screwed the pooch here guys. Need your advice. Since I added this wheel/tire combo I have noticeable vibration from 65-75 mph. From about 60mph and lower it’s smooth driving.
285/70r17 Nitto Recon Grappler on the Roush wheels. I had Them mounted by a local shop that didn’t seem the most technologically advanced. Took the truck to a high end aftermarket wheel shop and they performed the detailed balance service (roadmaster?) no luck - same vibration at higher speeds. I bought the tires from www.simpletire.com and it seems I will have to do quite a bit of legwork to try and prove the tires are out of round.
I did the Eibach front stage 1 level so that’s the only other question - did I screw up something with that?

How long did you have the lift before the wheels and tires? Did the vibration start only after the wheel/tire install? A high speed vibration is generally tire balance. Roadforce balance will help determine if the tires are out of round. Any tire shop should be able to warranty the tires through Nitto. Do you have a Discount Tire near you? They are great.
