Thanks to all. Tomorrow is the test. With the 5er hooked to my TV I will use two bottle jacks and timbers to lift one side and remove both tires. Hope I dont find any problums with the spring shackles, but will attempt to adjust the breaks and balance (w/Dyna Beads)the tires. I have already did the dyna bead thing with my 2500 Duramax, and can honestly say I dont know if they work or not. Drove about 150 miles today and it handles the same, still some minor shimmy, which has been their since new now 60K. Will also as long as I have 5th wheel tires off switch both tires, leaving them on the same side. It appears that I have a slight additional inside wear on both rear tires, I am not overloaded. Front tires on both sides look OK, so will then move them to the rear. I have about 20K on my 2 year old 5er.
