    Ok so i went and did some off road trails today and on the way home my steering wheel was shacking really bad. It doesn't do it when i turn just when im going straight. It was doing it at all times, but now its only doing when i go above 45. I got the 2.5 leveling kit about 600 miles ago and the guy said i wouldnt have to get the aliened. Please help me lol

    Do dents and scratches count?
    check your rims for mud / dirt buildup. If they are clean get your tires balanced. Betting you have mud built up on your front rims though.

    You have to get under the truck and make sure their is no mud left on the inside lip of the rims. Even a small amount will send your wheel way out of balance.

    Like stated above, check for mud/dirt buildup in the wheel area. Also, do you have aftermarket wheels? Sometimes when using aftermarket wheels, they use those stick on weights and sometimes come off when you go wheeling.
