Did you get the 33's balanced when they were installed, and are all of the weights still in place. I know you said you checked "everything" but this is an easy place to start. Are you getting any other symptoms of a bad rear end such as bearing or gear noise?

also carefuly look at the tires for separation (bubbles in the tread)

also what kind of tires are they?? have nylon in them or are they bias ply? i've got "inexpensive" performance tires on my car and my first time driving it in the cold i thought i had a flat /forums/images/graemlins/angryfire.gif.. mentioned it to my grandparents while visiting and my gramma asked if i had nylon tires?? went and checked, sure enough they are. guess us whipper snappers dont know everything afterall.. /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif

Did you check your U-joints ??? Just change them if you don't know how old they are, they're cheap. Mine made all kinds of vibration and noise when they went.

Ditto , mine sounded like gear noise until I changed all the rear joints as a precaution on advice from Marv , made it go away , guess I had one bad one , must be the torque I guess /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

I have a CV also . No vibes . Yet after 9 months a u-joint was going , but I really do wheel and drive mine daily . A little noise is ok , these trucks aren't quiet . Double check everything just in case , make sure no wheel weights fell off . And with your CV , grease it often if it has zerks on it /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif
