SO in June i installed the Bilstein 5100s into my 2012 ram 1500 big horn. Set them at 2.1 added new rims and tires(35s) and got an alignment. Put only about 3,000 miles since then and had no problems what so ever and outta no where today im having vibrations when i turn the wheel the littlest bit. almost seems as if something is rubbing or i dont know what the hell is going on??? ANY IDEAS???

I only suggested CV because it varies with steering input, but any of the above suggestions would be much better lol. Not sure if by bad tire you meant unbalanced, but that is definitely a possibility.

Any variation... slipped belt, out of round, unbalanced, uneven wear, etc

Slight wheel change isnt typical of a bad axle was where I was going with it.

35s on a 2.1 lift that ultimately sags to 1.8.

Yer tires are to big and heavy.

also , if you bought the wheels online chances are they used ****** stick on weights for balancing and they tend to fly off over time, sometimes only days or weeks...
