I am running 35x16x15 boggers on my daily driver, I have been hunting a vibration that I have had on my last two trucks. I ran 39.5 boggers on the last, the vibration wasnt as bad as it is now.

When you are comming to a stop, does the rig vibrate and shimmy a bit? Like 15miles an hour and below?
 
I had 2 sets and neither did that. I felt the lugs at real low speed, like letting off the brake and just coasting sorta. But what I think your are feeling is the tires being out of round. Egg shaped in an extreme way....
 
hmm my unbalanced 38.5 boggers never did that... infact they rode better than my balanced XMLs
 
I ran almost that exact same size except they were 16.5's. how wide are your rims? what air pressure are you running them at? how do you have them balanced?

I could always feel the lugs slapping at really slow speeds but not at 15 mph.
 
My old ones were balanced with equal, these ones are just wieghts on the rims, I am running a 15x10" rim and running 23lbs of air in them. I know what an out of round tire feels like this is not it. They get flat spots in the mornings but it is gone in a couple miles.

It does fine at hiway and cruising speeds it is 15mph and down, only when comming to a stop. The whole truck rattles, I had it chalked up to bad driveline angles, but it still does it after my HAD shaft. I will be getting some new toyo radials the first of june.
 
then whats the point of the thread?


and your rim is not wide enough for those tires.


I have been chasing vibrations on this thing forever. It was just recently brought up as a possible cause:doah: I have already thrown $550 at a new HAD shaft that I probably needed anyway, But it didnt fix the problem.
 
I just bought a rig it has 38 " thornturds on it ... it rides so terrible i couldnt even imagine what boggers would be like! i had it up to about 50 mph it was freakin scary and around 10 mph it jus feels like youre driving over a rutted out beat up road even though youre not. I jus got some more street friendly tires.
