Default Drive Shaft is your problem

You need to take your drive shaft to a shop and have it balance after they install new U-Joints. Had the same problem but I couldn't go any faster than 40mph with mine. The drive shafts are made out of aluminum and can get easliy out of balance. ITs an easy fix. My shaft was bent and they had to replace the tube. Now it drives smooth as a baby's as#. Much improved performance.

I've got Bilstein on the front and seem to work very well. Did you balance your drive shaft yet?

When you had the similar issue, what kind of feeling was it? I am having a shake in the truck, not a vibration or in the steering, at 35-40 and 60-70mph. does this sound simliar?
