Tires balanced and it still shakes! HELP!
Ok so i got my superlift installed last weekend and put on 33x12.5 bfg's, ever since then the ride has been really bumpy and shakey, like when i it get up to about 40mph or so the steering wheel moves back and forth about a half inch real fast, so i figured the tires were just unbalanced, so today i took it and had all 4 tires rebalanced, they were off a little bit but now they are perfectly balanced and it drives exactly the same, so that leaves me to think it has something to do with the suspension or alignment or something, if anyone has any idea why it would be doing that ppppppppppllllllleeeaaasssseee help me out!
ALSO, i was told by one of my friends that was driving behind me that my truck constantly bounces up and down while i drive, not going over any bumps or anything, just bounces on a flat road... im geussing this is because of the superride shocks? which might as well be called the supersoft shocks... i could be wrong, but is that something i should be worried about? any help is very much appreciated.
thanks.

try dyna beads, we can do em if you want.
Did you whatch the tire balancer to make sure it read 0, sometimes (especially around here) they just TELL you they are perfect. It takes a bit of talent to do a 33" MT (esp the guys around here).
If it's not that, your alignment is way off, mine was, thats why my steering wheel used to shake, I run dynabeads, got an alignment, and I'm good to go.

Mine does the same thing after I got spindles. It didn't do it all all with the tires when i first got them so the tires are balanced. I think it has to do with either the ball joints or tie-rods because that's the only thing tampered with on my truck. My truck's just 2WD and I don't see how it could be a problem with a driveshaft. I plan on getting it aligned soon (visually you can't tell it's off) but I'll let you know if it fixes the shaking, probably tomorrow.

I went through the same exact thing. I had a bent rim and a horrible alignment (b/c of tie rods being shot)

Look at what razorsedge said, I just remembered thats what mine did too. When I had my 33's on the new wheels, my steering wheel shook pretty bad (and I drove all the way up to ryans too) and after the bl it was soooo smoth.
I don't get it. Mine is perfect now, you can drive mine, smooth as glass.
