Lose exhaust fittings come to mind, could be something in the cab or work box.

Seeing that you have a lift, it could very well be a bad U joint.


EDIT: LMAO at that video!

I agree with Laramie I had a noise simular o this but mine also had a spinning sound as well. I just replaced the u-joints on mine and it solved it. Give the DS a good shaking and you may hear the DS pinging or moving from more than normal. Mine were shot all roller bearing on the inside of the cap in the front were dust.

i figured it was the ball joints.

I sometimes get a wobble at about 40 mph.

What price would you guys expect to pay to fix this....Myself of course
