One of my OEM bead lock wheels has 22 ounces of weights.  I’ve not been able to convince Discount tire to go that far, they’re very hesitant to add that much weight.Even if the wheels and tires are perfect, now you have a stable platform of troubleshooting to build on.  What exactly did they do?  put eyes on everything and look for damage?  You won’t find an out of spec component like that.  - move tires on one side back to front, reassess; repeat for the other side.- are the wheels out of round?- how old are the shocks and have they been rebuilt? They’re about due, maybe 10k more if you’ve babied the truck- has the truck ever been in a collision?- any hard hits off road?- consistent in 2h, 4a & 4h ?  I’d posit that if the road force balance improves or vastly improves things, that is probably your problem.  If it doesn’t change anything, you might to as [USER=35543]@FordTechOne[/USER] suggests and repeat.  If you get an improvement, again you’re probably on to the fix but if it doesn’t help at all, you’ve got some kind of suspension or driveline issue going on.HTH</blockquote>
