Ok Problem one...I just putt on some mastercraft 265/70/16 on my 03 quad cab 4x4 ...Had no probs with factory rims n tires forhand ...I also using american racing baja's. Now the prob is hitting 60 or so on the highway im getting side to side shimmy in the steering wheel ...nut enougth to send truck outta hand hand driving...but enough to piss u off after a bit. Then when braking it pulls to the drivers side ...I did a brake job two weeks prior to this the passinger side locked up shortly after and found out one of the slide pins got stuck so after a quick filing it slid freely again ....then i put the tires on and this all started happing....Any help would be great ...thanks

Double check air pressure first , try increasing
about 5 psi , unless they are already up there.
If still 'shimmy' , then at least one of them is
out of balance or Bad.

Check your hub bearings and make sure the nut is tightened to 123 Ft-lbs ... you could have a little slop in the bearings .....

These trucks seem to be sensitive to wheel balance issues and there are only certain select places around that can do it in a way that will make the vibes completely go away and keep it that way. I had wheel balance issues for a couple months. For me SEARS and Midas it well, Pep Boys and the dealership don't do quite so good of a job. Also... make sure the pressure is the same between the front right and left tires. A differential of more than a few PSI can cause a shimmy.
