And you've done the normal things like check tire balance and road force on the tires??

 

Other things to consider on cv axles and driveshafts causing a vibration.

[Matt Castro]

Yes I switched out tires from my Yukon and put them on and same thing I have the vibration check balance on them as well I have replaced upper and lower control arms and ball joints I have a bit of play in the front drive shaft where the yolk is but not to sure if it’s supposed to be like that with a lift

Have your hubs checked. That might be it.

Thanks that is one thing I haven’t done is the rear. Thanks I may mess with it tomorrow hopefully that’s the issue cause this shake is over the top already

Google "Chevy Shake", I have a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ 4x4 and it happened to me. There is a bulletin out on it for 2014-2018 models. They will start with flushing out the transmission and if that doesn't work then they will work thru to the converter/transmission. They say it could be the fluid used in it. They flushed mine and I've put about 5k on it and haven't had any issues since. If i remember when i get to truck I'll send you the bulletin number.

Yea bud I go a buddy who just lost a 14 wide on the hwy... I always told him as a good practice swap the hubs once a year or so. He said his didn't even have any play. I told him... Well I told him... And he was approximately 2yr in on his. Just a pic for reference.

Ain’t much play in front it’s more of the rear now and as I’m driving I look at the tires through the mirror and I see some play like the tire is bouncing 

[Snowcamo]

Rear shocks or tire needs a true road force balance. I see this every day here in texas. Which if your in DFW i can recommend the only shop across dfw that was able to balance mine. 

[Matt Castro]

I’m in corpus but I will definitely look at the shocks. Could it be possible that they are extended to its max 

[Snowcamo]

Yes that is very well it as shocks don't tend to do well when they are maxed out.
