    Truck shakes at 58-63 mph. It stops after 65 completely and it’s really smooth at 68+ Steer tires balanced, centramatics installed still the same. One tire is new, the other about 80%. Same with trailer or bobtail same shaking. Seems to be better when tanks are full idk maybe just in my head but I’ve noticed that. Truck does pull a little bit to the right but very little bit. Driveline looks good, ride height seen to be in spec because the leveling rod is not adjustable. Anyone solved this kind of problem? It can get pretty annoying.Thanks

    loaded, empty and bobtail. Depending on the load it’s more/less severe.

    You need to get looked at asap before your tires get ruined, and your bushings get wore out.

    Which bushings? Mine shakes at 45 to 50. Just had 3 axle, steers rotated, though I don't think they are balanced. Dude said 1 king pin seemed a little sloppy, but tightened up with grease.

    Ideas?

    Just went thru this exact same issue, at the same speed you mentioned. It was an out of round steering tire. When they balanced the tires, did they do it on the truck? That’s how they found mine. I replaced both steers. Problem solved. Centramatics won’t help you.
