Default Shuttering over 60mph @ coast

My 2001 F-150 4WD starts to vibrate/shutter when I coast above 60mph. I have already balanced the wheels twice. Has any one had the same problem? I feel like it's coming from the front wheel bearings, but you really cannot tell what it is when driving because it happens only when coasting above 60mph and just below and kind of feels like it happens also when slowing down to around 30 to 20mph or so, hard to say if its the same thing I'm feeling.....but has anyone felt anything like this or something similar? Do you guys know if the 2001 models have problems with the wheel bearings or anything in the drive line? Thanks for any info

Sounds to me that the driveshaft has thrown a weight. Pull the driveshasft and look for marks of what "USED" to be. Then take it to a a shop for balancing.
