Truck has 16600 miles On it and has progressively gotten worse in the last week or so. Under acceleration if you hit a bump what so ever it will start to shake violently to the point its threw all the weights off the front wheels. Anyone one else have this problem? Setup is 2.5" up front on 37x12.50 trail grapplers on stock wheels.

Are all the bolts been retorqued to spec since the leveling kit? Not saying that's the problem just process of elimination you know. Front end aligned?

Yes all was factory installed. Balance and rotation as well as alignment just done.

Track rod joint on the lower end (axel end) bad or the bolt on the top(frame side) wasn't tightened enough, those things have to get tightened to like 425 ft lbs. Does it have a drop bracket to re center the axle on the track bar check all that too if it does.

Okay so after talking to some people I think I'm going to push for adjustable track bar. Do y'all think this will be the best fix?

It will re center the axle but if the track rod ball joint is bad then that will need to be replaced.
