i have noticed the past few months my steering wheel shakes at around 55mph and progressively gets worse. at 85 mph if i have a drink in the cup holder its bouncing like crazy. tire are new in front about 2 weeks old stock tires size, tire pressure good. 03 2wd cummins truck has 72k miles on it. back wheels are 31" dune grapplers about a year old. truck also has 1.5" coil spacer if that makes any difference.

Just wondering what could be the problem? thanks

Was it aligned after the spacer? you could have an alignment issue. It could be tire balance. It doesnt sound like death wobble
