Tires were on the car prior to lowering and were perfectly fine. After the lower not so much. I will say the ride with the Belltech is great though!

Well I went and got the front 2 tires rebalanced and they were in need of 1/2 oz
each. Hopefully this solves the problem.

Are you sure the hub rings were reinstalled after the drop was put on?
Also did they torque the hub back properly?

I bet its the hub rings.

Is there a way for me to see the hub rings with the wheel on? Ugh...

Still shimmying

So I checked and all hub centric rings are in place, took a look underneath and nothing looked "out of the norm" but what the hell do I know.

Still can't figure out why it shakes at 60mph after I got the rebalance. Maybe I will take it back and try to get them to check the rebalance....

Any other thoughts? Keep in mind ride was perfect prior to lowering.

I'm having kind of the same issue, but instead of a shake it's more of a vibration at 60-65 mph (only in that range). I'm thinking possibly a bad pinion angle after lowering 3/5.5, but I did install the rear djm hardware kit which included the trailing arm brakets. So I can't understand why the pinion angle would be an issue. :emotions122:
