FWIW, On my old '04 after some trial and error I figured out it was the E-brake. I pulled out of a construction site in reverse with my brake engaged one day, and could not get it to stop shaking. Was so bad the wiper blades were bouncing off the windshield. Couldn't figure it out for about a two months. Dealer was not much help, and many others were experiencing the same thing at the time.

It's hard to explain in words. I'd say that it felt like stock even with the 37s. AutoAnything.com and TireRack.com is who I bought them through.

I had this same thing happen to my 05 a few weeks back. I used to use the e-brake religiously, and thats when the extreme vibration would happen (usually on highway at about 50+mph) and scare the **** out of me.
Once I gather the idea that it might be the e-brake, I stopped using it and sure enough, the vibration never returned.
I need to bring it in to the dealer to have it looked at. Does anyone have the TSB number?
