Default Bad vibrations at 35-42

I have a bad vibration and i can't tell if its my radials out of balance or my swing carrier bearing? I put the relocator from belltech on my truck when i did the 2/4 drop and it has never done this? have you guys experienced this with your truck before? I am going to put the other tires back on tonight and see if it still does it?

I say tires. Any balance problem ive ever had has always been tires. You took off those brake rotor clips right?

they are put on the axles to hold the brakes together during assembly, but arent needed afterward and wont allow aftermarket wheels to sit flush with the flange, but since you have stockers, that is probably not the problem.

any play in the driveshaft? could be the rear ujoint.

if its none of those, then check for missing tire weights, you can usually see where they were stuck on and if they are missing.
