[QUOTE="MZRaptor72, post: 2025450, member: 31407"] So it sounds like you’ve got this resolved… which is awesome… but let me at least leave you with something else to think about should you run into it again. Remember that your OEM wheels were hub centric. I’m pretty certain that neither your Methods or KMC are… rather, they are lug centric. Many have debated the topic… but some would swear that you really need to use hub rings with aftermarket wheels that are lug centric. I had a gen 2 and now a gen 3… and I’m now a diehard OEM rim guy. Years ago, i had a lifted jeep with after market… lug centric wheels and ran into similar symptoms as you described. After much trouble shooting and a long shaggy dog story… i needed hub rings with the aftermarket wheels. Immediately fixed it. Before my Raptors, i had a TRD Pro… this was a fairly prevalent issue in that community when people switched to lug centric. The problem there… and also the argument… is that many don’t have issues with lug centric. It becomes very critical that proper lugs match the wheel and that when torquing… it is done properly and very uniformly. That was how i finally was able to narrow down the jeep issue… one shop torqued properly, star pattern, etc… a different shop did not and just ran them on any old way. I could create or eliminate the vibration accordingly. I’m now a proponent of high quality, OEM, hub centric wheels. To each their own… but something to consider IF you do not have hug rings and find that the problem returns down the road after a rotation or something simple. But glad you seem to have it resolved!!! EDIT: Search “Hub Centric”… quite a bit out here too on the topic. [/QUOTE]
