What kind of steering linkage does your truck have. im pretty sure they changed it since the 97-03 generation. If it has a rack and pinion type steering linkage the rack bushings could be a problem. My girlfriends rack lol (on the car sickoes) bushings were severly worn and the car only had 45k miles on it. the things pulled left and right like nuts! i changed the bushing out, simple job and the problem was fixed. just something to think about.

Rotate that tire to the rear. If it goes away, well there is you answer. Anyone check the brakes? Sticky, frozen caliper? A badly warped rotor will cause the wheel shake, esp. will be caused with heat. Wheel bearing had been mentioned.

call around to different shops. find one that mainly does front end work/tires. most of the big chain shops are always looking for profit. i have a local mom n pop type shop i take all my trucks to since i know they can work with custom wheels and altered suspension.

My S.Wheel shaked on my 04 at 60-65 with 24's... Balanced it nothing, did alignment fixed it a little(like 2-3months) had some shop told me the rims were to heavy
My other 04 with 22's shaked only a little at 65-70 balanced it & it took care if the problem.
