Thanks guys, just looking for some input, 1 of my other threads, I put that my truck shakes if I go over 20mph in 4hi and 4lo....driving in snow or rain....Just trying to see if anyone knew if that was normal, I checked underneath & nothing seems loose or out of whack

You might have a u-joint or hub going out on the frontend.

It's only the Ramrunner.

I thought it was no more than 20mph in 4lo. You don't need 4lo unless you're pulling something or crawling around on some rocky trails where climbing is involved.

If you need 4hi in rain then you might want to consider some tires that have tread on them. Using 4hi on pavement (even wet pavement) is a good way to bust a front u-joint.

I just wanted to check in the rain because I just fixed the sway bar links, the bushings were completely off, I thought that was the reason the truck was shaking.... I have great tires on the truck, and the truck is still shaking, only in 4 wheel drive

You have other problems. Some guys remove the sway bar completely with no ill effects. Check the bj's,hub assemblies, trac bar and tie rods and the front driveshaft ujoints and front axle ujoints.
