I have a 2013 Laramie with 2000 miles on it. Local 4 wheel parts put a procomp 6in with their pro series shocks. From the time I have picked it up it has shaken non- stop though the floor board at highway speeds and eve n around town vibrates after every bump. So I took it back and made them put the stock struts on with spacers and some cheap hydraulic shocks in the rear to get my ride back. It still would shake so bad I am surprised it didn't bust a window out. This week I spent another $1400 to have the 10ply AT's that were on it removed and replaced with an 8ply nitto TG 325 60 r20. Helped, but still would shake the hell out of the truck after a bump on the freeway, so bad that when I would hits bump I have had the backed step out a couple of times 70. It has been back to 4 -wheel parts 4 times and they look at me like (the truck is lifted, your ride is going to change). Driving through the mountains yesterday as I was about to pull over and burn the truck and buy another GMC, I had a God send moment...what other than the shocks and springs connects the axles to the frame that would make it vibrate like hell when I hit a bump...the lightbulb in my head went on and I literally hit the brakes and pulled the truck over to the side of the road as semi's went by and shook the truck. I ran to the back sway bar and said son of a *****....they had installed the pro comp extension brackets on the sway bar incorrectly, and the sway bar and the bushings were all bound up, thus binding the rear end from flexing, and the brackets were bent from binding the bushings when the rear was trying to flex at high speed. So for the last 6 weeks I have been driving a hard tail truck that transferred all of the suspension shock to the frame. And a fully tubed frame does not flex, it vibrates with rigidity like a guitar spring. I took pics and am fully prepared to rip the manager's ******* at 4 wheel parts on Monday. They are lucky I did not wreck the truck on the freeway and injure my 8 month pregnant wife or 4 year old son...still pissed...but happy I figured it out. One side of the bed is sitting 2inches higher than the other, they better hope it is the sway bar that is tweaked and not my rear sub frame from all the stupid ass torsion i have put it through. if it is the frame, it is lawyer time, that is a $52000 list price truck with 6k in lift and tires. .I fixed it on the side of the road and not a single vibration since. Now i have to take those stupid hydraulic shocks off the rear and puts some nitrogen shocks back on because it ass dives when I hit a bump. I hope you guys never have to experience that ride. I took some videos inside the truck before I fixed the sway bar I will try to post them and drop in a link
