Highway Vibrations 2023 2500 CTD 4x4

first of all you can weight balance tires to zero a million times but that doesnt gaurantee it will drive smooth. road force essentially checks for wheel assembly out of round. do you have any print out of the road force results ? this very well could by your vibration. you need to get the results from the road force. take photos of the machine readout and report beck

Just out of curiosity, does the '22 have the off road package and the 23 not? I ask because I traded a Big horn 2500 and 18 inch wheels without the offroad package for a Laramie with 20 inch wheels and with the off road package. My wife and I both agree the Laramie with off road package rides better. I think the main difference between the two is 18 Vs 20 inch and different shocks?

IMO the stock firestone tires are garbage. On both trucks they wore very quickly and balancing was an issue. That being said I like to run centramatic balancers and they work wonders. My Laramie with 315/70R18 Toyo OpenCountry M/Ts rides smoother down the highway than the Lonestar riding on my stock laramie 20s with the firestones (they'll get changed out after a bit). The difference is that my MTs are basic spin balanced with Centramatic balancers on the hub and the 20s with the Firestones are roadforce balanced and no centramatics. Balancemaster also makes a hub balancer so you have options, but Centramatics are cheaper.

I'm running the H1 Centramatics that I got from CJC on my 2500.
