    Welcome to TW! Assuming the tires are balanced correctly, it's probably a driveshaft vibe that might be fixed with either (or both) axle shims + carrier bearing drop kit.

    thanks for the information and as it turn out it i had to get the wheels rebalance and now on to the next project of getting a stronger front bumper as up here in northern California the deer loves to jump out in front of you
