Vibration After Level Kit

So I have the bilstein lift struts, they are adjusted to the highest height at 1.77 inches. I installed an add a leaf as well and then the front just wasnt high enough. So I got some top guns customs lower strut spacers. They make a kit that comes with (2) 1/4" thick spacers. I used one 1/4" spacer on each side to achieve 1/2" of lift. Total lift now is 2.27" in front. I removed the tie rods in order to get the prybar enough leverage and room, nothing else. Everything is tight.

Now when driving, specially at highway speeds I notice a slight vibration in the steering wheel. Nowhere else, seats, floor, pedals, just in the steering wheel. There was no vibration with just the bilsteins.

Now, part of the issue I wonder is I didnt align it. My tires were supposed to come 2 days ago and didnt so Im stuck for now until they arrive.
