Vibration over 70

[WXman]

"The offering (off road group) includes a one-inch suspension lift with or without the available four-corner air suspension. An electronic-locking rear differential and 32-inch tires on 18- or available 20-inch wheels provide additional grip. Hill-descent Control, an offroad biased rear suspension geometry (Rebel and 4x4 Off-road Package) and unique off-road-calibrated shocks bolster trail capability. The package also includes skid plate protection (transfer case, steering, engine, and gas tank) and tow hooks."


Interesting...

So I took my truck with 110 miles on it to a large tire shop locally. They road force checked all 4 wheels/tires. All 4 were bad. Like, real bad. I'm talking numbers well over 30 lbs of force, when a highway tire like this should be well under 20.

So now I get to begin my saga Thursday at the dealership. I'm sure they'll only want to replace the tires with the same brand, which in all likelihood could also be garbage. Sigh... this will be fun.

Got my truck back yesterday after getting the front differential and front axels replaced. Zero vibration. Not saying this is the end all be all issue for all. but this was the issue for me. after $2300 in new tires/wheels to include about 4 balances, and then $4500 in new axels/differential, its finally driving like it should.

For that money paid out, I would have lived with the vibration!

I would have just fine. Vibration dosn't bother me. But the side effect of the vibration is it made my wifes mouth vibrate as she bitched about it. lol

Reading through all the threads I’m noticing a bit of a pattern.

Guys say the Rebel trucks don’t vibrate.

My 2020 North Edition with 20x9 “flower petal” wheels didn’t vibrate.

My buddy’s 2022 Backcountry doesn’t vibrate.

What do all those trucks have in common? The off-road suspension package.

Likewise, the guys with Bighorns and Laramies and no off-road suspension are the ones who have vibrations. My ’22 Laramie is the first Ram I’ve had with the shake.

Could it be that the root of the issue lies in the suspension on the non-off road trims? Shocks aren’t up to the task? Sway bar too rigid? Coils?

Laramie. No offroad stuff. No shake.
