Default Front End Shutter/vibration at 30-35mph?

Hey guys, well today we got about 6inches of snow, I had to do some running around, so I took the truck and put it in 4x4 for the first time this year, the 4x4 worked good up until I headed home, i started getting a bad vibration at about 30mph from the front right wheel assembly, i would almost compare it to death wobble that i have had in my jeep. I had switched back into 4x2 and still i had the shutter. So far i have checked the half shaft for tears, and broken, tie rod, ball joints. Any thoughts?

I'm willing to bet some snow is packed in one of the rims throwing the balance off.......most likely causing some vibration. Even a little amount of snow will cause this to happen.
