I did find a couple of issues though. It looks like the inside lip of the right front wheel rubbed on the control arm when i made a tight u-turn. that might have made the wheel out of balance. It's either that or the driveline was vibrating because of the suspension being fully compressed without all the weight in the bed. I just drove it with the bed empty this morning and it vibrate. Guess its time for some rear airbags.

I have knocked wheel balancing weights off before when the rims rubbed the tie rods at full lock. Maybe that is what you are feeling, just an unbalanced wheel.
