Default low speed vibe

as the title states i have a low speed vibe.....very low speed. it only does it at, or less than 10mph. castor is around 4 degrees, steering wheel is centered and the front axle is centered. when i first installed the lift and tires(about 3 weeks ago) i thought it might just be the new tires, it kinda felt like i was running over small bumps. kinda like driving slowly over the shoulder warning bumps on most highways. now it just feels like a vibration.


mods are

rough country 4" and 2.2 shocks
35x12.5x15 yokohama geolander MT's

sound like i could be your tires....not sure about the mts you are running...if they are that bad.....i know with baja claws, it was like that...but once you got them up to speed smooth running, just slow concrete rolling etc...look for some dirt and test to see if it goes away....and not something in the driveline..

My Mud Grapplers do the same thing, you feel every chunk of the thread when going slow.

My MTZ's feel like you are running over rumble strips at slow speeds.
