Default Steering vibrations after level?

Did a 2.5 Rough Country level a while back. Put the 34 inch Nitto Trail Grapplers on a few weeks ago.

Last night was the first time I've really had it off road. Ive noticed some terrain really takes a toll on my steering wheel.

It will rock it back and forth and vibrate pretty good.

Just wondering if anyone else had a change. Not sure if I should trust it if I'm alone with this.

I have the same set up on my 08 king ranch and been smooth for me even after some hard offroad. Maybe check the alignment and balance.

I had the exact same same setup. I have upgraded now. but mine did that same exact thing and it turned out i warped a rotor somewhere in the course of driving my truck. but new front rotors and problem solved. I hope your issue is as simple as that.

My problem doesn't come when on the brakes. I can feel it while just driving.

Not sure how a rotor could affect that

The lift and bigger tires may have changed your suspension geometry enough where you might need to install a camber kit so the alignment shop can adjust caster and camber versus just toe which is what the factory set up is limited to

Did you get your tires realigned after the level install?
