Could it be warped rotors or tire balancing?

Tire balancing is difficult on our trucks. Road-force balancing is your best bet IMHO.

Front and back spacers?

Just wondering if you are running a 1.25" spacer in the front and back. It looks like your lift is a 3" in the pictures. What brand of spacer are they. Thanks.

Hey I have OMEs back and front. The Back is perfect but the front was a bit low so I threw in a 3/4 inch spacer to even it out.

I had vibrating issues with wheel spacers too. They will intensify any warping of your rotors so you feel the vibes anymore. This will cause your rotors to warp even more. I eventually took mine off and got new rotors. I loved the way they looked though.

Nice looking 4Runner you got there... I thought it looked familiar, I am certain that I've seen you around town! Let us know how the next project truck works out!
