Update
Finally was able to get into the tire shop to have the tires rebalanced. Road force balancing did the trick. T4R drives like new again! Tech said the original installer just slapped on the weights in one inside location instead of placing them on the wheel width wise as needed. Good...
I'm getting a a decent steering wheel shake when I get up to about 50mph and it goes away around the 60-65 mph range.
The background is that this is an almost new 2020 TRDOP w/KDSS. I just leveled the front end with Bilstein 6112's, installed new Falken ATW3 in stock size on new OEM TRD...
Blackstone proves it!
Just an FYI...
Recently got back oil analysis results from my latest oil change on my Ford diesel that I sent to Blackstone. With a K&N oiled filter/charger it showed a definite increase in silica. I also have a Tundra that I use a dry AFE filter and no such increase...
And to follow up with my own installation it took less than 2 hours for the fronts.

2.) did your shop recommend or say anything about an adjustable rear track bar?
3.) which Falken did you go...
Good thread...exactly the info needed. Local installer wanted $3K plus for installing Icon Stage 1's w/the track bar after telling them I had KDSS. Should save me some dough...thanks!
