Levelling kit

Hey all, 2005 f150 sc lariat. I installed my as 2.5 levelling kit yesterday. After the install I had my alignment checked. Now around 40 mph I get a vibration in the front end. Almost feels like a tire is out of balance but would that just be coincidence that I did the levelling kit and now a tire is out of wack. Anyone have any other ideas what may be causing it. Thanks.

Update. I had the alignment double checked, tire balance double checked by road force balancing. Still got the little vibration. If one of the ball joints are something are going on the front would that be something to think about for a vibration. Thanks.

well i would go around and retorque everthing first

then i would check the tie rod ends to make sure that their still good and that the nuts are tight on them ...once the dealer didn't tighten mine all the way and i got a good viberation

just because the alignment was checked doesn't mean they checked the tie rod end or the ball joints for play like they should have done

i would be willing to bet its something thats is loose
