Bad shocks?

I think my shock's may be bad. I am getting weird wear patterns in my tires. (Toyo MT 35") Every other lug on the outside edge is worn down. A few people who have looked at it think its wheel hop needless to say the truck now has a bad shimy. Tires were rebalanced , front end was cheked. The funny thing is it does'nt do it all the time. Any ideas, checked the tie rods and look to be ok looked for loose nuts none found. Anyone else with Toyo's have this problem.

have the tires checked on a road force balancer you may find them beyond acceptable spec.

The white body fabtech shocks in the rear recently went out on me. When going over a bump these shocks do a smooth first compression and the second is very rough and abrupt. Difficult to explain but I'm replacing them with fox's if I can find them.
