shocks

i have the oem shocks on my f 150 and i was wondering if that could be causing a slight vibraton in the rear. my truck has 130,000 miles on it and are rancho rs5000 a good shock? could bad shocks cause a slight vibration

No, a bad shock wouldnt cause a bad vibration.
Check your wheels to see if a wheel weight came off, also maybe check the driveshaft to see if a weight came off.

Bobby is right can't cause vibration, but I have the rancho's and I like them.
Check your wheel balance first.

It sounds like limited slip chatter.

Somewhere in the drive-line, or something loose in front-end?
