I double checked my shock install and realized I did not have the coils ending in the correct place. I took them out and adjusted them to the manual position. I also found that I had the bottom retianer on one side above the suspension support, so I had a retainer above and below the upper bushing. Corrected that and put everything back together.
No change in the ride. Still a slight vibration in the steering at 60-65mph.
I'll have Toyota look at the balance of the front tire tomorrow. They evidently were so perfect that they required no balancing weights except for one rear tire.
After all this install and the new tire, the ride seems stiffer to me. I will have to reasearch the LTX/MS2's and see if they are a more ridgid sidewall than the Dunlops.
Disappointed at the moment, I was looking for a softer ride.

You bought one of the best tires around. You could check inflation to make sure it is what is recommended . . . I believe it is 35 psi. Also. from my understanding the Bilstiens will give you a slightly firmer ride than stock.
