Not to mention what it does to steering feel......

Actually, when I have something in the back like my ATV for instance, from about 45-65 mph the truck will shake like hell. I don't' understand it. When it's empty it's fine, all the way up to 100 mph. Brand new ball joints, complete brand new "HD" steering, brand new track bar, adjusted the gearbox lash, 10 ounces of counteract balancing beads in each tire, brand new shocks, brand new steering stabilizer. Everything is tight. I can't pinpoint the location, but it feels like the front is doing it. Any opinions?

EDIT: Ignore this, I'll start a new thread
