Tires are new and i had them double chked by the shop that does our alignment and tire work very reputable people shocks are larger yes not trying to shoot everything down just i work in a shop so ive chked everything twice put it on my lift and checked everything underneath it just doesnt make sense unless the ujoints in the axles wer maybe setting up some harmonic imbalance if that makes any sense

new thought: could the two piece disconnect axle be the culprit maybe wore out where they ride together
