I recently bought a 2016 RAM 1500 Express that has a Rough Country lift (think its 6in). This is my first RAM and lifted truck, and I am loving it very much. When I get up to 60-65 I get some moderate shaking in the steering wheel. I had the truck looked at by my local mechanic (because its used), and they said it looks great, everything is tight and firm underneath. Also, it only has 35k miles on it.
I thought maybe the tires needed to be balanced, so I took it to my local car mechanic. He said the tires were to big to get on his machine. I also tried COSTCO, Rice Tire, and called a few other places. No one would take the truck because of the tire size (or maybe the rim size?). I was recommended a local Off-Road shop that specializes in lifted trucks. They did the 4 wheel balance and after that it was 10 times worse. I was so depressed, I thought for sure a shop specializing in off road trucks would get it done right, but it rides horrible now.
I did some reading and there were many folks that recommended balance beads. I bought 4x 12oz bags of Counteract brand beads. I have not put them in yet, because I am not sure they will work. I read some folks say they do not work on wide tires.
Below are my tire/rim details. Anyone have experience with tires/rims like these? or balance beads? Any advice on how I should proceed would be greatly appreciated.
2016 RAM 1500
Rough Country lift
Tires: NITRO GRABBER 35x12.5 R22
Rims: Fuel 22in
Also, on a side note the sticker on the door jam says tire pressure should be 39psi. Does that sound right?
