Default New Pro Comp 6"Lift- Vibrations Between 50-60mph! Any Insight?

Ok, so I just lifted my 07' F150 Supercrew with the stage 2 6" procomp lift, but now am experiencing some vibrations through the truck when traveling over 50mph. I had some worn BFG's and was told it was the uneven wear of the tires, so now purchased some brand new 35" Toyo M/T's and it helped out a bit, but still getting the vibration.

So is this something that's just part of the lift with bigger tires, or is there something wrong somewhere? I was told I might get some vibrations while in 4 wheel high, but I am getting these in 2 wheel drive!

Can anybody shed some light on my situation?

Did you have the tires balanced when they were mounted?

x2. Pretty common with lifts. DS angles become pretty extreme causing a bad vibration.

Very possible also check your u-joints they can also cause some vibration but most likely if it just started doing it immediately after the lift it its your drive shaft angle

Dang, I was thinking the same thing!
Thank you guys for your help.....

Now what kind of options do I have to fix it?
Are there any quick fix's for it, or do I need to invest in a new drive shaft?
