overfilled tranny?

ok guys so if I overfilled my tranny when I flushed it what would happen? im still intermittinly having some vibrations on the highway since i got the new 305/65/18 BFG's on the truck, reason i suspect the tranny is because i changed the fluid the same day i got the tires? I have already been to the tire dealer 4 times and have had four brand new tires put on the truck, and they have been road forced! So the only thing I can think of is maybe the tranny is overfilled , I have checked it when warm and it seems to be ok? maybe a c-hair too high but not crazy.... vibration is there between 65-72, maybe the rims arent wide enough? seems there are a ton of guys running bigger tires on stock rims and not having a problem? ive been under the truck a few times and I cant seem to find anything else wrong? ...... im stumped???

I don't think an overfilled transmission will cause the vibration. It sounds like your tires are too wide for your rims.

I vote for tire issues too. Have you driven vehicles with over sized tires before? They do ride, sound, & feel different than stock tires. Also make sure the lug nuts are tightened down good.
