Not just balanced, checked on a Hunter road force balancer. Use the link above to find a shop with this machine, then talk to them and make sure they know you are trying to solve a vibration problem.

My Durango has 9, 12, 14, and 22 lbs. The one with 22lbs concerned me and I mounted in the rear(always higher in rear). I can't feel and vibration or shake. Usually with trucks and SUVs they allow low 30s before concern, but if you are trying to solve a problem, I like lower than 25 lbs.

Well... A regular wheel balance costs $100 here, I can't imagine what a Hunter Road-Force Balance costs...

I picked up some $17.00 U-joints today and replaced both rear drive shaft U-joints.

Vibration gone.

Don't know why I didn't just listen to Hydrashocker in the first place.

Maybe I was scared of the repair? But it wasn't a really a big deal. Although I did lose some ATF when I pulled the driveshaft. But I just topped it off with some more synthetic ATF+4.
