Funky vibe after S.S 1.2 lift

Just insatlled S.S 1.2 lift & 285 BFG ATs.Now have vibe that feels like in front under veh. 97 4runner. Comes in 55-60 mph,clears up then back about 70. Had tires road force balanced,stock wheels. Removed diff drop,no change. Felt poss r/f so replaced wheel brng,no help. Strng wheel doesnt shake,just vibes & feels weird,can also feel in floor under feet. Double & triple ckd my work & I thnk all is ok. Truck has 167k on it of which we put 100k on. I dont rememeber vibe there befor but maybe it was & the lift & tires just made it worse. Appreciate any suggestions. Love the lift & look but vibe is worryin me to death.

How are the 285 BFG's balanced? Weights on both sides? Who balanced them? A 7" wide wheel with a 285 is never going to balance perfect. Try to rotate the tires front to back to see if you get a vibe in the rear, to try to figure out your problem.

I have a vibration that you can feel in the floor of my lifted 97 as well. I always have just assumed its the Mt's plus a truck with 234,000 miles on it

An alignment needs to be done after a suspension lift.
