Good point. Yes, it was done on a RFB. They're saying it's not the tires because of that.

I'm going to change my drive line u-joints and see if that works.

Thank you.

You said you had 3000 miles on new tires. Did it do it on the old tires?

Good Ponit. Where does one go to have that done? Machine shop?
I just replaced all the drive lines u-joints. Might of help a little, but still there. Just took the truck back in to the tire shop and had them rebalance agian. Right now no more shakes. I'm really thinking this is my last set of BGF's Nothing but problems!!!
