    Truck runs smooth for the most part until I reach about 62-67 mph. It shakes, not violently or to the point where it affects my driving, but makes you uncomfortable enough that you want to speed up to smooth out or slow back down. I have a 03 2.7l, 4wd, with 31 inch bf a/ts. Thoughts and opinions? Thank you.

    Sounds like classic tire out-of-balance. When was the last time you had them balanced? You also might have lost a balance weight or possibly have some caked on mud if you've been in mud recently.

    Deck plate, all time auxillary, black billet, xeon bulbs, sockmonkey decals, and lots of back to black.
    Likely. I had a bulge in a tire one time that made mine do it.

    When mine happened it was the same make and model tire. Ur def out of balance tho.

    Those BFG A/T's are notorious for being hard to balance, and for getting out of balance.

    When you take it in TELL them to do a dynamic road force balance. This means they will place weights in two different spots on rim and measure the road force of the wheels/tires to see if rotating the tire on the rim is necessary to help balance.
