    Yeah I got centramatics on the drives but I'm sure there's not enough weight in them to do anything. Thought about getting them balanced then doing a heavy load of counteract beads. Had them in my last truck. At least you can load enough of that to make a difference.

    Throw the centramatics away. They're no good for drives anyway. Put counteract beads inside the tires and you're done they're balanced. No need to waste money on lead balancing at a tire shop totally unnecessary.

    if with any trailer maybe your fifth wheel not likely the trailer . Shaking is also caused from dips in a tire , tire on wheel off center ( check the line around the bead on tire and see if any of them are not even all around the wheel ) bent warped wheel , shackle bushings . these things I can tell for sure will make your truck shake like the front wheel is coming off and the drive tire feels like it is bouncing badly on opposite side when the steer is the problem . sometimes if drive is the problem and it is not real bad it will only vibrate when a load is on it . .

    4 fat tires on the drivers, in stand of 8. At least with 8 you can get to the next tire shop with a blow out.
