I looked at all the tires and they all have weights.

I had the same problem when i bought mine. I had to replace the ball joints, u joints, wheel bearings, track bar, and replace all 4 tires(they were all worn with 2 having ply separations)and then get a front end alignment. After all of this was done, my truck goes fairly straight down the road, sometimes slightly going to the right, with a slight bit of play in the steering wheel. The guys at my local mechanics said that that is the best it can get. Hope some of this helps!

EDIT: Really nice truck, it looks like it was well taken care of!

Thanks, I got the ball joints and an aligment but I think I'm leaving it like it is. I don't know if replacing anything will help.

Thanks, it certainly looks well taken care of.

I'm selling the tires and wheels though, going for a different look. I have them listed in the classifieds if you know anyone interested.

It is a nice looking truck. I do not like the rims, but that is just my opinion.

They are not my favorite either, which is why I want to change the look.
