Default Whats wrong?

So when i get up to 55mph or so my truck starts shaking. Do i just need the tires balance or do i need tie rod ends or something?

I went to Les shwab and they said u joints look worn but they will last a bit longer and the tires are worn funny so i had em rotated and that helped. The tires are 12 year old Remington mud brutes so its about time for new ones. Any suggestions? There 33s.

are they bias or radial mud tires? either way being old mud tires i can see them causing the vibration.
