Is your whole truck kind of shakey, or do you just see the bed shaking?

I had a set of "mud hog" tires that after about 8 months of being on my truck, made the back end of my bed dance a lot. It's because those mud hog tires were POS !!! After I replaced them no more dancing bed and to add to the tires, one of them was like 22oz out of balance. Should have seen the lead on the back 2 tires/rims that the shop put on to try and make it not shake. Make sure you have a good name brand set of tires because I saw some aggressive tires and bought them,they turned out to be those mud hogs.
