Default vibrations start at 65...

They start at 65-70, are in steering wheel , cab and pedal. The vibrations get worse as I get to higher speed and if I take my foot all the way off pedal when they get bad, its gets a lot worse...

Replaced everything on front end(except cv shafts), replaced slip yoke and driveshaft,u joints... Did a full alignment and wheel balance...

Shocks do need to be replaced but I don't think symptoms point towards them, one of my motor mounts driver side looks bad but vibration chart shows symptoms are differ, what else causes vibrations at this speed? Can bad fluids in transmission? Differentials? Transfer case cause this? Or maybe if fluid is alittle low?

Did you balance your tires? That is one big possibility.

Either wheel balance or bent rims, even a little bit.

Cupped tires are a sign of bad shocks, possibly part of your bad vibrations.

shot in the dark but maybe check the output bearing at the back of transfer case. see if theres alot of up/down slop where the drive line exits the tcase
