Default shaking at 45

hey guys.
i have an 04 crew. it has a 6inch lift and mickey thompson mtz 35's. when i hit about 45 the steering wheel starts to shake but when i hit 70+ it doesnt shake. or at least not as bad. Is shaking in the wheel common w/ lift kits? or maybe even the tires? it was recently alinged(spell?) too. any ideas?

well as it turns out the place that i got my tires mounted but equal in them. its a solution that is inside the tire and is suposed to balance it self out while driving or something. so im going to go to a diff tire shop and have them take that cap out and put on some wieghts. thanks again

Ive got the exact same problem as you. I just lifted my truck and through on some 35 inch Pro Comp Xtreme A/T's. The guy who did my tires put beads in them instead of using weights. Did you get yours to stop shaking?

you may have to stick with sand, equal or beads in the tires, alot of tire shops can't fit 35 on thier machines. I know when I was working at a tire shop we couldn't and we used sand on anything to big.
