Looking for advice. I have a 2019 lariat with a 4 inch lift, fox shock on fronts currently running fuel contras 22x10 -19 offset with nitro ridge grapplers 35x12.5
i love the look but man the ride quality is rough above 70 it’s shaking pretty bad and I’m just not feeling it. The tires probably have 30k miles so I’m ready to make a switch. Long term plans are to whipple it and get some new rims and tires but want to improve ride quality while still keeping off road looks. What rim/ tire combo would improve ride quality and keep the off road looks similar to raptor or off road super snake look?

 

I'd start by getting an alignment and then getting the new set of tires rebalanced. Maybe consider raptor takeoffs if you are swapping them out anyway.

 

As stated above get the tires rebalanced for the shaking over 70mph. As far as the rough ride the lift, the type of tires, & the type of shocks may be contributing to that.

 

For ride quality, switch back to stock suspension. Lifted suspensions are not designed for ride quality, but offroad capability (ie slow movement over uneven terrain).

Agree with above, get tires balanced. I have heard it is difficult to get large tires to balance perfectly - therefore may always have some kind of imbalance and shaking. Think about it, you have a large mass of rubber 17.5" out from the center of rotation and are trying to balance it perfectly with small weights 10 or 11" out from the center of rotation. Wide rubber and wheels just amplify the challenge.

 

I had a set of ridge grapplers on a 17 ram, and they were rough riding tires. I think it was around 40k miles and I started getting all sorts of vibrations that no one was able to balance out. I got rid of them and went back to regular street tires and the ride was back to smooth. Couple that with the 22" wheels, and you having minimal sidewall, that definitely isnt helping anything. More tire, less wheel will almost always ride better than big wheels and less tire.
