Bad Shake after body lift
You've gotten all your wheels and tires rebalanced I'm guessing? So you can rule out a bent wheel and improperly balanced wheels and tires? If the alignment is good, u-joint and driveshaft is good and the wheels are properly balanced, I'm stumped ha
im 100% positive he'd notice death wobble. you can't hold the steering wheel still when it happens. mine did it because of a bad outer tie rod after getting it aligned.
This is Dave we're talking about here. lol.
Yea, i'm just throwing ideas out there now. Pull the drums off and look at all that crap. check all your body bolts with a torque wrench and call it a day

A loose bed won't cause the truck to shake, the bed will just bounce around
I was wondering how the hell loose bed bolts would make the truck shake. This is how I feel when I read alot of members agreeing to that...
hahah. the cab is shaking from the bed which isn't attached to the cab. I've had my bed loose on my truck before the body lift and it bounced around but it never shook the cab. it was really annoying with the rear slider open
Yep, I forgot to add your front or rear driveshaft could be out of balance also.
Even the fartmaster 44 dumped could cause the vibration, I know on my old LTD when I let off the gas the whole car vibrated from the rumble the the exhaust.

I doubt he has checked everything, if he did and found no problems then he needs to go back and check again. Checking the bed bolts is about as smart as whiping before you poop.

I also think that something must have been missed. He sent me a text while getting all of his stuff checked at his work place, and said it was all good.
Hmmm....
Tires are in balance did them yesterday. Wheels are not bent
The only thing i noticed it the front drive shaft has some play i can pull up and down on it (bad pinion bearing possibly?)
Front end parts new as of November Ball joints upper and lower, TRE, ITR, Endlinks, sway bushings. just greased today
U joints are solid and have zero play

Check your steering shaft extention, other than that I cant think of anything on a BL that would cause your problem. Everything I listed is what you need to check.
If I was you take it to a front end shop and see if they can figure out the problem. Find a shop that does not charge any fee to tell you what the problem is, once they tell you whats wrong go home and fix it yourself.
You're perty smaaaart
