you might just have mud packed on the wheels, i have had to pull mine off to clean at times, you also might have hit the drive shafts on rocks causing them to bend and get out of balance.

I would high-speed balance the tires, if that doesn't work, then your going to have to change your driveshaft, I had to change my driveshaft, cause while off-roading I went over a boulder, and damaged it, my truck would shake so bad, that the driveshaft would snap out of the u-joint !!

hard to understand what your trying to say, but after installing u-joints you need to tap the yolks to neutral the caps so the u-joint moves/bends at all angles freely.
