I should mention it is a brand new truck, had about 500 miles on it when I did the tires and lift
Just so you know, brand new trucks get dropped, smacked bounced off curbs and other events that the dealer will never tell you. You can check.

Did you start with the Firestone Wildpeaks? I have read a few of the negative reviews of your Toyo tires. Seems to be hit or miss with a good set of 4. Some find it hard to have them balanced. Some talk about them bouncing all over the place. Most complain about the rough ride.

Demand new tires. Should be warranty. My experience is that the OEM tires have to meet a pretty strict balance and roundness spec. The ones that don’t get sent to the aftermarket. We even used a lower spec tire for the spare if was on a non-matching steel wheel, figuring it would only be used temporarily. Saved a couple bucks/vehicle.

I vote for new tires also.
