Its funny you mention about mud causing a vibration. I have had a steering wheel nibble problem. The dealer replaced the steering gear, re-balanced the tires, and the problem went away. After about 1000 miles, the steering wheel nibble came back. I decided to power wash off my tires and rims, getting all of the dirt and brake dust out of the groves of the rims. The steering wheel nibble completely went away. I have a hard time understanding what the connection is, but since I washed of the rims very good, the nibble went away.
I will have to attach pictures of the rims I have. There is a deep grove on the inside of the rim that collects all kinds of dirt. I blasted it all out with the powerwasher, now the truck is smooth. Very weird.

I had red clay on one spot on all four tires and the rims, when I got up to about fifty mph I thought the truck was going to fall apart. It was vibrating soo bad I couldn't hold it in the road, I had to go about 30 mph until I could find a place to wash it off. The dog that rides with me got soo scared that it clawled down in the floorboard and just whimpered.

So I have a theory on this....
Do you suppose the issue could be those outboard shocks. This is the first truck to use the concept. What if ... the mount for the shock offers enough leverage against the frame that it translates and exaggerates everything. The older style inboard shocks would have less leverage and as such quicker compression to absorb vibrations ...
I clearly see (and feel) the benefit of the outboard shocks on handling. I am just wondering if there is a suboptimization that wasn't considered ...
