I know its crazy I had a little shake before, now its out of control, then on the way to the dealership it was smooth as hell, now its not???????? I talked to Mickey Thompson they said do not road force balance them the machines are not set up for large tires like these it will not work properly, they said to go get it aligned and then take it from there.

did u drop both wheels at once into the hole? or just one?
what wheels do you have, are they forged aluminum or chrome plated steel. if they're steel you might have tweaked one enough to **** of your tie rod end with the resulting wobble. aluminum wheels generally dont bend too easily but its possible, unlikley but it happens. recheck your ball joints and tie rod ends. also look at you control arms, and bushings.
when you got your new tires did the shake dissapate at all or remain constant. and still try swapping front to back it should alleviate any wheel concerns if you still have the shake.
i never asked b4, what size wheels/tires r u running??????

Dazed I talked to mickey thompson and they do not want me to get the tires road forced balanced it can mess up the tires pretty easy since they are agressive,
It was a mud hole not just a hole it was pretty deep I"m running stock wheels and
mickey thompson baja atz 305/55/20 the tires actually measure out to be 34/13.50s

Makes you feel like you own a P.O.S right? I would feel disgusted with that much of an investment and have an issue like that. It's like driving down the road with screeching brakes, everytime you hit them it makes you want to sink in your seat or wish you had tinted windows so nobody can see you...lol yet another analogy but dirty..hehehe

I have no Idea what it is i'm getting it realigned in the morning but one of my buddies was a alignment tech for 6 years and swears that a alignment would not make it do what it is doing.

Not unless it's way out. But then you'd notice that just trying to drive down teh street at a few mph. It would have to be something in the driveshaft, transfer, or front axle I'd think.
