Will this really help?
thats a shop that makes to much money...we never turn any one down cause the size of tire .. did you rotate your tires ? see if it goes to the back ? i drove my truck with no stab on it today and to be honest drove the same if i had em on...on another note if theres any cords rip in the tire sometimes you get the same effect..
To be honest, I feel a differance. I still have a shake, or wobble, but it is much less than before. When I had the front end replaced they installed a new stabilizer, but it was factory and 1/2 the size of the Skyjacker. I am happy with the new install, but throughy pissed about the guy at DISCOUNT TIRE, STRINGTOWN RD. GROVE CITY, OH 43123
I bought my truck from a guy that had 37's on them and believe me they needed changing. I went with a 17" wheel and a set of 35 Dunlop Mud Rovers ( ran them on my Jeep and for the price they lasted a long time on the highway without humming). Anyway this corrected the same problem you had but the truck still had some play so I ordered the Dual Steering Stablizer setup By Sky Jacker ( and yes you have to modify it some) and that helped alot but me being the **** person I am I wanted ZERO issues so I took it to my best friend's shop and we changed the upper and lower ball joints on both sides MOOG brand and when we were installing the pass side he noticed that the person who owned the truck before me had a bearing go bad but was still driving the truck and the only thing holding the damn wheel on was the brake caliper which wore into the knuckle on that side. I priced a new one and used and they are not cheap so it will wait but I don't have near as much steering issues as before. Also Discount tire can balance large tires, I have 35X12.5R17 and I have the stick on weights. This was done by a very reputable 4 wheel drive shop and I recently had my tires rotated at the Discount Tire in Rosenberg,TX ( I live in El Campo, TX 30 miles South of there) and they offered to balance them. My suggestion to you is find a 4 wheel drive shop who installs and ask them to balance them and the next time you pull your fronts off check around that steering knuckle at the point where the brake calipers mount and make sure there's no wear. Hopefully this helps. I also included a pic of my truck with the dual steering stabilizers just enlarge it for a better view.

All the time uninformed people say you can balance anything over 35's. They're wrong, all there is to it. I know quite a few people that have up to 40's balanced.
If people are still giving you crap you can always put air soft bb's in the tires. I think its like 6-8 ounces per tire but I could be wrong. You might not believe me but I have 1st hand experiance with this. I thought it was a load of crap to at first but once we did it to some 38x13.5 TSL SX's it was NIGHT and DAY. I couldn't believe how well it worked.
You just poor them straight into the tire and let them roll around. When the tire starts spinning they go to the "low" or unbalanced spots on the tire by Centripetal force.
Its one of those things where you don't believe it until you try it.
