Unbalanced Tires

Hey guys,
I have a set of BFG Longtrails with around 25,000 miles on them that i cant seem to get balanced. They have plenty of tread on them but when i did my normal rotate and balance with oil change truck rode rougher than ****. So i went and tried the roadforce balance at not only one tire shop, but 2! and neither can seem to get the tires to ride like they did before i start to feel a bit of nibble at 50-68 and at 70mph HOLD ON!@ man its bad..they say the tires have some cupping but will even out after i drive for a bit..is this gonna do any damage to front end parts? Steering wheel is going back and forth a tad at this speed as well..

Thanks,

How many miles on your truck?

It could be that you need shocks and or a wheel alignment. It could also be a bent rim or separated tire that was on the back, and therefore less noticeable, that you now have on the front after your tire rotation.

Left unchecked it will wear you front end parts faster.
