    Many of the newer LT's at work do/did the same thing. I believe some of them stopped when a part that connected the cab to the chassis was replaced. It was visibly worn out when viewed from behind the cab. God I wish I could remember what the hell it was. It was not a tire or alignment issue.

    My mistake, it was the hanger bearing, that's what it was causing shakes on some of our LT's. Check that.

    Over 60mph balance problem according to Mike Beckett of MD Alignment.

    We had several LT's that shook in the steering wheel around 50-62 mph, accelerating. Turned out our alignment guy sucked, we took them to a new shop and the new alignments are holding up a lot better.

    Yes and no I replaced the leveling valve and it helped. Then on an unrelated issue I replace the cab shocks cuz an air leak and it did much much better. It vibrates sometimes but no when I’m loaded. I still need to
    Adjust the leveling valve to specs. Just been lazy since I’m always loaded
