Ok so my front wheel started wobbling really bad on the pass side. My first thought was well maybe I got a bad wheel? Well I swapped it with my driver back wheel. This still didn't fix the wobble and the back wheel that was on the front didn't wobble, so this tells me it's in the front axle or hub. Well I went to the dealer today and they said bring it by in the morning. I did some of my own investigating and I believe that the rotor is warped. The brakes are jumpy like when you have a warped rotor, but this wheel is really wobbling so idk I'll let them fix it. It better be under warrantee as well. All I have done is the leveling kit so idk but seems like my day will be spent at the dealer. Wish me luck!

If it's a brake rotor issue, it will be covered for 12 months/12k miles.

Yeah, I've seen leveling kits cause a similar problem in other trucks but it could be a number of things.

Did you get an alignment after the level kit? How much of an angle did the level off put the components? For example on my 06 with a IFS front end, if i put a level kit on my cv joints change angles massively

So I went and they were very friendly. We swapped out my 20's for some stock 17. When I was on stock wheels the wheel didn't wobble. So as we tried to figure out what the problem was we came to the conclution of re balance and alignment. So today I got the truck realigned and it helped but it's still wobbling so tomorrow I'm going to get the tire rebalanced if this dosnt fix it I'll just have to try new wheels.

Ask for a road force balance if they have the machine to do it.

Get them to pay for another shop to do the balance.
