Truck shaking really bad

i wasnt sure where to post this but i have an 04 with 6 in lift and 35s. it has around 101000 miles. whenever i get up to around 50-60. the truck shakes very bad. it feels like it starts from the front. i got the tires rotated and balanced but it didnt help at all. what do you guys think is the problem.

Did your lift kit come with a drive shaft space? i had to get one for mine because i had the same problem. drive shaft pulled out fo the slip yoke enough to cause a bad vibration.

check ball joints and tie rod ends also...i dont know bout the lift but my stock 07 had a ball joint going loose and would cause a horrible vibration which turned into a shake the faster i went...i also had a ply broken in my tire even with rotating the tires my truck would shake...just some things to look into

My truck shakes violently from 40-45 and 80-85. I've taken to to several places and no 1 can fix it. I've had several alignments balanced the tires rotated them. Had the entire front end checked. One store told me the belts were separating in my tires so I tried replacing them and still not helping. Mine is a 2003 4x4 6" lift on 35s.

Is there a chance you rims are bent or aren't true. Maybe the tires aren't true, I went through 3 sets of tires before finding a true set.

I actually just had that happen JohnBaughman, my truck isnt lifted but one of the coils and spark plugs were misfiring. A quick tuneup mad it run like a raped ape. It happened when I put a load on it like for instance getting up to speed. Take it to a shop and check the coils, wires, and sparkplugs.

could be tires too!!! i had two tires with broken plies, which made my truck vibrate! So I rotated my tires hoping that would help and nothing!! Also check ball joints, tie-rod ends, and hubs...jack the front end of the truck up and see if there is any play side to side and up and down...side to side is most likely a tie-rod, up and down is for ball joints and hubs
