Hang in there rewilla. They screwed up your alignment, probably all in caster. Should be readily resolved with shims. I have 37’s and my ride is fantastic (not lifted yet) so the fact you got reasonable tires shouldn’t be on your mind.
The nature of these trucks is to transmit a fair amount through the steering wheel. A good stabilizer like the Fox seems to better stabilize the smaller movements, so for someone daily driving one of these looking for a smooth ride might want one even before the lift.
Last, Since you’re clearly invested in your rig you might also consider radius arms with caster adjustment rather than shims, namely PMF or Lewis. I have PMFs on order now.
I agree to hang in there Sounds like alignment to me. I did a 2" BDS Level Kit with Fox Shocks. Added 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers (12.5" wide on 20" Fuel Wheels). Runs solid, but my friend who did the work does need to adjust the steering wheel. It's a little off. Almost unnoticeable.
There is general agreement that a good single at the factory location is superior to duals. Duals “look cool” but are less leveraged in dampening because of the mounting location.

I'm curious how you fit 37's w/out a lift/level? I'll be buying tires soon & would like to go 37's - thought i was going to have to level at a minimum to fit them.

How did you fit 37s on stock?
On stock 20’s they rub on the sway bar and radius arms but no body issues at all. I’m replacing the sway bar and radius arms this month. Not the cheapest way to clear 37’s but I wanted to keep the 37’s as far in board as possible. The high clearance radius arms are a proven thing here from PMF or Lewis, but no one to my knowledge has done a high clearance sway bar so I’m having one built. Pics below show the sway bar rub points - totally solvable.
Trail Master 2" level. Its 1" higher in back like i wanted. Snow plow prep package. Had it installed and aligned at 4 wheel parts for 223 out the door. Figured i couldnt go wrong at that price. Tires are cooper stt pro 295 65 20 which measure 35.4"

Looks awesome!! It's amazing what 2" will do for the look of these trucks. And you got a steal of a price. I'm still digging you Cooper's too, very nice!!
