Default 05 Ram 1500 Shaky at 100 - 110mph

So recently I had my LT Headers done to a true dual and made a custom CAI Intake

( credit: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...-included.html )

Before this I have had my truck up to 120 with no problems, and not shaking at the 100 - 110 range. (The shaking goes away after 110 currently)

My question is what would cause this? I have read all my diagnostics, did the CAI right, checked my lug-nuts, and a few other components. Does anybody have any Ideas what to do next? Is this common? (and I already know I shouldn't be going this speed)

Do you have the original crap tires? My 03 was actually governed to 105mph because of the non-speed rated tires.

Can't see how any of what you've done would cause that. I'd look to thrown wheel weights or out-of-round tires (wheel weights first).

rotors could be slightly warped and off balance. I know when i recently replaced all 4 of mine it made a world of difference

I have Pro Comp A/Ts in P275/60R20/REIN. Will check wheel weights tomorrow, and will look into the rotors. Thank you for your advice guys. BTW, my truck is governed at a buck forty

I can't say that I know (and will likely never find out) or not whether my truck does the same at those speeds, but I would start looking at everything that rotates. Wheels, tires, u joints, or roters.

I know, haha. It's just so much fun for me. But I shan't be doing that too much more, at least until I figure out what causes this.
My favorite thing though is when I beat all my buddies ricers, and pass them. I took a Turbo'd VW Jetta the other day
