Question 2012 F150 Leveling kit HELP!!

Hey guys, just got my leveling kit installed on my '12 F150 Crewcab Ecoboost two days ago..I like it. But the problem is, when I'm driving at pretty much any speed, it starts making a humming noise, maybe a little vibration here and there since I got the kit installed..Any idea why this is happening? I brought my truck in to get an oil change and they installed the kit for me as well. I paid them to do the installment and it should be done right. Any ideas? I'm gonna go back in the shop and demand why it's doing this. Maybe I have to wait a certain amount of miles before it breaks in? I had the Readylift 1.5" kit installed, if that helps.

The-S, No the stock rims, and stock tires were put back on. Maybe they need different wheel weights? Not sure.

Ouch..That may be the case! thanks Ecoboosted. I'll bring it in tomorrow and ask them about the IWE. Will that still be under warranty?

Should be, unless they determine whoever put the leveling kit on caused the damage... Worth a shot though, worst they can say is they won't cover it...
