Alright so since I put the lift kit on and 35in MTs my truck will begin to shimmy and vibrate over 50mph. I have suspicion that my gears are going but there is only 120000 miles on it.
I am not definite that the gears are the problem so I would like to know yalls opinion on the matter

Is it in the steering wheel? In the truck body? Gas pedal, brake pedal? Depending on where you feel it could eliminate some potential issues.

The body feels like it starts in the rear end feels like at the wheels so I'm unsure they were balanced in February when they were put on it is possible that they have thrown some of the weights off

Sorry for the late reply. MTs are notorious for going out of balance fairly quick. I'd get that checked out first.

I heard there was a balance plate you can get similar to the ones for commercial vehicles. If it's a balance problem this would be the permanent cure.
