Sometimes the weights will come off. I would definitely inspect the tires and wheels, make sure no bubbles in tires or tread seperation

Will do 1st thing in the AM..also if that was the case it should do that on smooth roads right ???

The ride is smooth on smooth roads which is normal but on very minor rough road little bumps ,little pot holes etc..(even when I'm driven my 90 legend with 20year old blown struts rides smoother on this particular road) the truck makes this particular road feel like I'm driven off road ... seats,keys smell good trees everything is swinging back an forth violently going around corners I feel alot off body roll like having to hold onto my center console

This could be suspension related then. I had a similar issue with my Grand Prix not long ago. I took a look and noticed that my sway bar end links were worn so I replaced them with a set of Moog sway bar end links and the issue went away.

based on your last post I'd say it's not tire or wheel related now.

Same here that was just an option cause the wheels an tires are brand new only have 2k on them .. Has anyone change there struts/shocks on a 5 year old chevy/gmc truck because ride quality or blown issues ???
