This would make it so you have to turn the steering wheel to get the wheels back straight. There must be some kind of adjustment though.

Once I get these tires installed along with the lift I'm going to see if I can talk the dealer into adjusting the TMPS settings the the PCM so I can get that stupid light to go away. The last one refused because I'm not running a Load Range E tire right now.

My dash light is on for the wheels. I turn this off everytime truck is started. Cheaper than new sensors.

(These are the only differences I'm noticing on others truck's. and they don't have chatter.)

Adam, I too went through this (terrible chatter feel on acceleration) after I installed a "Pro-Comp 2.5 Front / 2.0 Rear Suspension Lift". I posted everything on here somewhere but after I took pics of the Pinion Angle (bad pinched) that the "tapered" Blocks caused they finally sent me "Flat" one's free of charge & low/behold problem solved......

*Just a thought if u have a "constant vibration" while driving (I did not) maybe your Carrier Bearing needs to be spaced down (my Kit came w/a Spacer)

I have pic's if u need/want to see them

How did you mount the fork? On another truck that had an aluminum bed tool box. I mounted the attachment for forks to the tool box. Nice looking truck.

It's a "Swagman Truck Pick-Up Fork Mount Bike Rack". On my previous truck, I did the same thing, but the front brake caliper on this bike didn't clear the lid. SO, I went with this removable bike rack bar. I've had it for less than a yea now, and it works great! and Thanks.

Love the truck nike! I have a soft spot for charcoal/black trucks lol, looks like mine but a crew cab and not chrome bumper up front.

Did your truck have a plow prep package? I like the ride height but mine is tall it makes my tires look small and i have the same size tires/rims, i did the same lift 2.5" level, 5" rear blocks (3" total lift). We're both gasser's too so the weight up front shouldn't be much different.

Matt > Nope, it doesn't have the prep package. Not a lot of plowing done here in sunny Florida (

). I love the height .. not too tall and not too low. Unfortunately, I did have to do a little trimming of the wheel well, but not too much.

I gotta say I love your color combo as well it fit's the theme of your truck perfectly. Mine looks nice on the outside but inside was aggravating me because it was work truck inside and...truck outside lol.
