possible tire flat spotting?
I've noticed vibration in my Supercab only when starting off for the first time in the day. My truck has the BFG 18" tires and I wonder if the tires are flat spotting overnight.
Hell of a great truck and the tires are part of that. I'll gladly accept that trade off.
One more thing .. the shock settings on these trucks seem to be a bit stiff. I like that. I helps with the excellent turn in and the flat cornering that the truck has. Maybe what some people are feeling is the shock valving, as sometimes it does create a little choppiness .. not a vibration really.
Just some things to think about ..

I wonder if the vibration you feel is the rear diff. I've seen a lot of posts about that and I have it to. When I take off from a standstill - especially turning left or right from a stop - I get a brief vibration. I understand repacking the diff might resolve it.

Actually I thought I was replying to a previous thread on vibrations and was mentioning some possibilities that might be causing some of the commentary on the subject of vibrations.
I'm quite pleased with my truck. It's only vibrations i attibute only to these factors I mentioned above.
