problem with front end

i put a leveling kit with shocks on my truck two weeks ago and ever since i put it on whenever i get over 70 mph it starts to shake violently until i come to a complete stop. i had the shop that put it on take a look at it and they can seem to findanything wrong with it. does anyone have any idea of what it could be? please help i;m afraid to even drive it right now

What kind of front shock absorbers? Upgrade to some Bilsteins and forget about it. I have been there and done that. You will get some that say the ball joints are worn, and some that say the hub bearings are worn and others will say the track bar is worn. Mine was the shock absorbers. You could stick your head out the window and watch the tire bounce up and down like a basket ball. The slightest little bump sets it off. This is just my experience on my truck, I bet its the same on yours but I have been wrong before!

There's a new TSB for what Dodge calls shimmy.
It's 22-something. It addresses tie rod end tollerance, replacement steering stabilizer, and tire pressure.
