So I replace wheels and tire on my truck today, went from a 33 inch tire to a 35 inch tire.

The tires I put on were a bit old and had been sitting for a while, but I changed then so I could have matching size tires all around, I had on smaller tire in the left rear. I had to re-seat the bead on two of the tires due to having to remove the steel and lead weight from the aluminum rims and smooth out the gouges.

On to the problem, I drove to get some food after I was done and now when ever i hit a rough patch in the road the back left bounce like mad untill I slow way down and then it is a smoothe ride again, as long as I am on smooth road it rides fine, but as soon as I hit a bump again it starts vibrateing and bumping real bad.

Just becasue I want to show off, I got some before and after pics.

after

Any guesses?

 

Could be an unbalanced, or worse, bent rim.

Were the rims/tires checked and balanced before you put them on?

 

I plan on getting the tires checked tomorrow, if they can do it. On base here they can only balance up to a certain size and I did not have time for them to check it.

I was told on another forum it could be my shock gone bad and I am begining to think this as it only happens when I hit rough road, but ut is just strange that it were to go bad then and not sooner or having noticed something out of wack before it **** like that.

I guess I am going to have to take the battery out of my truck and put it in the jeep so I can get to work in the morning, Hopefully that will work in my favour.

 

is this a type of death wobble?

Like your signature, that was a decent movie. Too bad Brandon died.

 

Did you say they are the same size all the way around or you have one off sized tire on the rear?
What pressures are you running on all the tires?
You said they are a 'bit old' but, are they damaged or cupped?
Could be a shock. The tires are going to be heavier than your old ones so the shock will need to handle more. You might not have noticed it on the lighter smaller tire. I'd start with the 'old' tires though.

 

This is all I can think of right now.
