ok so yea i got the truck lifted and all that cool stuff but i cant really drive it if it wobbles.

when i look in my mirror doing about 40-50 it looks like the bed of my truck is going to jump off. i mean like serious shaking. it also makes the cab shake.
what can this be? tire out of balance? i dunno

also im running 25 psi in 38.5/14.5/15 tsl/sx's

could be the tire or one of your shocks went south. :dunno:

Might be a tire out of round. Jack it up and put a brick like an inch from the tire for reference, thsn spin the tire to see if it gets closer or further from the brick. Could be out of balance too.

the shocks are brand new.. im gonna get them balanced in the morning and see if that works. then ill check the roundness of the tires. thanks for the help

Yep, definitely the tires. Swampers, especially SXs, aren't exactly known for being smooth or perfectly true.

yea and i got it aligned today and they said all the balljoints and everything are in great shape. so nothing else is wrong except i still need ta get a new steering stab. hopefully the balance takes care of the nasty wobble inthe back.

its a really wierd feeling, ive never had a wobble from the back

Mine does it some. I can see the bed bouncing a little in the mirrors...I got used to it though. Ive just got Equal in mine though, no weights because 4wheel parts are morons.

most likely its out of round, but you might get lucky and it just be a balance issue.

 

[bradmo42]

they will be getting that tire back if thats true..

 

[PunisheR]

super out of round Couph, I mean swampers, I have one that is out of round, that has been trued, and balanced over and over, and it still shakes the hell out of my truck..lol... These tires suck, but what do I expect, big tires like this are not made for the road all that well. Send it back, get a better one, or get it cut. -Jordan

right front needed 18oz
left back needed 13oz
right back needed 28oz!!!!!

good to hear. my iroks were pretty bouncy before i balanced them, now that they are balanced they ride smooth as glass

 

[bradmo42]

yea its actually smoother than stock i think. i like it a lot. and the hmmm of the tires just relaxes me :
