2019 Ram shaky after 3.5 ready lift kit

valcantar93 · Jan 17, 2022

I got a 3.5 ready lift kit installed on 22x12 on 35s and it tends to feel a little shaky when going around 50mpg. Even when I'm driving about 15 mpg i can feel the bumpiness. I've replaced the tires twice thinking that was it and done multiple rotation and alignments and nothing. Any have any idea what it could be because i can't seem to figure it out

There are certain situations where the readylift kit can cause drive line vibrations. Post a picture of your truck.
What tires are you running?
Did the same shop mount and balance your multiple sets of tires?
How many miles do you have on your 19?

I’m running Atturo MT 35x12.5. No the place where they’ve done the mount and balancing is Discount Tire. They’ve put 2 new sets and the second time around it fixed it slightly. I have 38,000 miles on it

Are you familiar with running Mud tires. You can definitely feel them more than an All-terrain tire. Just a thought?

valcantar93 · Jan 17, 2022

Yeah definitely! It’s definitely a little rougher but this time it feels like there’s a tire bubble on the front tires. We’re thinking it could be something with the lift or mechanical at this point

Got a friend with a RAM who has stockish tires that ride good on his truck? Take a half hour and swap his tires on your truck and take it for a rip. Possibly rule out a tire/wheel problem…for free.

Your stance doesn’t look wonky. You don’t have enough miles for it to be a driveline/cv axle issue. My guess is your tires are cupping, how often do you rotate your tires?

@valcantar93 your truck looks great

valcantar93 · Jan 18, 2022

Thank you! And I haven’t done a rotation yet I just installed them about a month ago and I’ve put 2 brand new sets of tires thinking the tires could’ve been out of round but didn’t fix it

Are they noisy?

Make sure the actual wheels (rims) are perfectly round (not just the tires). There might be something wrong with one of those and new tires wouldn't fix it. Also ask the tire shop to do a "Road Force Balance". Many do the road force already, but bigger tires are harder to balance do I would double check. My 35's have a little shimmy between 59 and 64 and nothing I do will completely fix it.

Road Force balancing does not work on mud tires or tires with aggressive tread. The machine cannot get an accurate reading bouncing over the tread lugs.

Nick@GotExhaust · Jan 19, 2022

Does the whole truck feel shaky or more just a shake in the steering wheel?

Can you put stock wheels and tires back on and see if it does it?

Interesting....I've never heard of this. My last 4 trucks all had aggressive, oversized, tires and all were road force balanced similar to the video below.

Yup. It works but it’s not fixing guys having vibration issues. It works great on street tires but it’s not dialing in a truck tire

My buddy and I both bought new 35 inch tires and 20 inch wheels at the same time from same vendor. Different wheels and tires but both of us got "Fuel" brand wheels. We both have 2500s. He had major issues with vibration while mine were perfect. He rebalanced his tires and saw the lug centric wheels were actually not centering on the hubs and kept coming loose to the point they lost a few lug nuts and damaged the studs. He ended up buying a set of hubcentric spacers and the wheels then installed correctly and ran true.
