Did we just make a huge MISTAKE... please help
Agreed.
Al.
i think a little something I pick it over the years is that there are two types of wheel balancing,
(1) static balancing, the simple of the two and normally use for wheels under 16", easy to recognized by looking the wheel weights ( if they are in a single location, normally in thecenter of the rim this is a static balance.
(2) dinymic balance, recomended for 17" + wheels and truck tires, this is the most accurate electroninc balance and you can ID it by looking at the wheel weights and they are normally staggered off the center of the wheel either closed to the rim face or outer edge or both if the tire is out of round,
Any good installed will now this and there are green and red dots on a tire, this helps the installer id the out of round face of the tire and the red dot normally is installed in the point where the air valve is located...
take a good look and see if a dynamic balance is needed. that I always make sure of and will not only regain the proper ride feel, but will eliminate potential problems down the road, specially in the braking department on wet weather.. good luck

I have a 2006 quad cab 4x4 Laramie, Hemi. I had vibration problems when it was new at 60mph. To make a long story short, after fighting with Dodge, I ended up with new wheels, new tires, alignment and road force balance. Also ended up with a new front wheel bearing. 99 percent better. I think the vibration/rough ride is an issue with these vehicles.
My mechanical genius told me that the Rams with the "Clad" wheels need the weights on both inside and outside. Damned if it didn't improve things after I had it done. You might try that if you have the shiny wheels.....
