Hello brotheren, 2004 gmc yukon hear yee hear yee! The dad wagon has yet got a new (to me) set of wheels and they are nice they look good on the truck! Only issue I have now is a serious suspension wobble that's intermittent and only happens around 35-60mph I don't believe its a bent rim because it's roughly only at 35mph -45 50 if you try it's impossible to hold on you'll end up w a mouthful of broken teeth lol... tires don't seem to have a whole lot of choppiness or anything out of the ordinary, rims don't appear odd shaped bent or anything just don't have any weights on them.
Any suggestion would be great and much appreciated! I went over an hour away to trade my gear off roads which made it fine to getting some rattle your bones for mo reason. I was questioning driving it all the way home but I can if I need to. It's a 4wd BTW 4.8 lr4 I know it needs a lateral link and Pittman arm

Get thee to a tire shop and have the balance checked as well as the trueness of the rims…. Seems odd that there are no wheel weights….

I had a belt fail on a BFG and it acted as you described (my dad used to call it a square tire). I cannot say enough on how well Discount Tire / BFG handled the situation.

Truck looks good !

Maybe a stupid question, but did you get the wheels/tires balanced at a quality service establishment, and did they use RoadForce balancing equipment? With a RoadForce balance, part of the process checks for wheel issues (bent) and tire issues.
