Vibration

I am new and have a 2006 F350 crew cab long box dually 6.0. When I have weight in the back with 100 gal tank and tool boxes I don’t have much of a vibration but when tank is empty and no weight in back the vibration going down the road if felt in the seat and in steering wheel. I just had the front end done (ball joints tie rods etc) U joints are tight but vibration getting worse. With the air bags pumped up it takes little bit away. Sometimes I think it’s motor related but unless a injector is going out to cause it no clue. Those were done just over year ago. Any help be appreciated. Thanks Tim

It's really really hard to get the rear tires balanced so there is no vibration on a DRW when empty. The set of tires I have on my 2013 were a problem until I removed all the weights and added 5oz of balancing beads in all the tires. Now I have a smoth ride

Maybe I’ll pull them off tomorrow and see if I can find place open to get beads and give it try. Cheap to do when you have a tire machine at the shop. Thanks!

Be sure and remove all the weights. I bought my beads on Amazon.

I'd also check your U-joints. A little weight causes a bit of suspension squat, changing the drive shaft angle, which eliminated the vibration.
