I had the same issue , was told by wheel works it was the lower ball joints. Went to about 5 shops finally this little hole in the wall tire shop I stopped to have the tires rotated as another whack at it. The guy said oh all that's wrong is your not balanced on the outside, he balances them and boom! Smooth sailing since! Not the outer balance in the wheel but the ugly one on the outside did the trick.

That would be nice if it was the "real" problem. I've balanced mine from the day it was new. It would last about 300 miles, then the bounce is back. The question seems to be, why does this tire constantly get out of balance? it has to be some sort of set up issue.

Ya my box shakes also, I thought it was my oversized tires but my p rated winter tires made the box do same thing. I never looked the other day if the bed shook when I had a yard of dirt in it.

ah, sorry bout the wait guys.. It was my rear axel.. It was slightly bent.. I brought it to 3 yes 3! Ford dealers and none found the problem... Brought it to a small shop around town and fixed her right up, I enjoyed the no vibrations for a day before I sold her'
