it is warped rotors. i've read in some places that rams are infamous for them. time to take it into a shop and ahve them cut your rotors. possible that your pads are still ok.

Yup rotors and possabally pads. I would nt get them turned, I would just replace them. It depends on how bad they are warped, but i would still get them replaced. my $.02

How many miles?
orig pads?
put the rotors on a lathe. Most places will only charge you 15 bucks to cut em. If you do the pads yourself, make sure you have a hammer to knock the caliper off and a C clamp and 2x4 to press the piston back in.

well its gonna cause more wear and tear on your susp depending on the shake, dont really think theyll make the tires get off balanced... if they havent been cut before just get em cut, save yourself 150 bucks easy doing that way.
