This is the first time I've noticed this on my truck. When I get above 65mph I get a "wobble" throughout the truck, but it seems to start in the front end. All my bushings and king pins are in good shape, and I just replaced the shocks. I run 33" tires and have a 3" lift to clear the tires. Could it be the design of the tire tread, since it didn't do this with the last set of tires. If any of ya'll encountered a problem like this, your help would be appreciated!

Are they "muddin" type tires with a real aggressive type knobby tread?? I could see them getting to a certain point where maybe the ***** get to a resonance point and create a shake. Especially if all four tires.

You may have to get the tires "trued".
Most of the time this process is used on the larger tires, but I have seen it done on the smaller sizes. Especially on the more agressive tread designs.
Most tire shops know of this process, but not all are equiped to do it.

What a difference the proper air pressure makes. Turns out, my air guage was off about 5psi, so I was running at 30psi and not 35psi. I aired up the tires to their proper inflation rating and guess what..no funny stuff happened. Straight as an arrow with a wobble in sight.
