Bought this in 2004 and just now put a 6" lift on it. Had an alignment with the 285/65 tires on it. Just put 35"12.5 on it today and steering wobbles too much. Bought tires and rims from custom wheels filled with N2. Said they balanced them. Do I need to get another alignment with 35's or do you think the tires were not balanced? I have a single Zone stabilizer shock on the steering.
Thanks for any help.

Sounds like a balance issue

Tires come with the balance beads. I took the front stabilizer shock off today and it is 90% better. I believe the shock was making it worse. Tire shop wants $20 each to balance with weights, so I might do that next to see if it cures it all. Read reviews and most don't like the beads. I don't know if you can weight balance a tire that has beads in it?

Sounds very familiar. I had bad luck with balance beads on my 35" MTs and 20x10 Fuels. Same issue, shaking at highway speeds. Had to have them removed and use the sticky weights instead, I'll never go that route again, what a hassle and waste of $. How'd it work out?

Thanks for the reply. I just rotated the tires and it stopped mostly. It still wobbles little bit at high speeds on certain roads. Probably the beads. I won't ever use them in the future.
