HI, Long story short. I put on a Eibach level kit and a Wheel alignment then got a full set of 39x13.5x17 KO3's with new wheels mounted and balance from the Store and shipped to me. Put them on and I get a little but not crazy shake at 54 55 mph I have no pull from left or right either. I took it to a tire shop and had them balance the tires again. They said only one was out of balance 1/2 ounce. He said that it was ok. I drove it home the same thing occurs. Do I need another alignment? or what to ask when I take it back to the tire shop? Thanks in advance!!!!

Find a place that does road force balancing. See if they can do tires that big. They should be able to help.
Besides that, do they fit ok? How much lift to clear them? Been kicking this idea around for snow wheeling

They fit perfect no issues at all with the Eibach level kit. I aired down the tires to 34 cold psi. all the problems went away. So happy now. Got to wait for the snow LOL but if they are like my old ko2's they should rip in the snow.

Glad it worked out for you. Not sure what tire I'll run for the snow, but I'd like to go with a 39 for flotation towards the spring of the year when the snow is wet and packy.
