Default New shocks - now shaking - ??

It's leveled out.. no issues until I installed the 5100 shocks in place of the stock shocks (fronts). I've installed .. reinstalled and still getting the front end to shake like the damn bottom is going to fall out of it.

The wheels look like it has some toe in on the bottom side (which it appeared prior to the new shocks). Can the suspension have more travel causing it to shake due to this? It never did this prior to the new shocks.. I'm so stumped on this.. losing sleep and getting pissed! Haha!

Honestly I don't know if the dealer ever aligned after they leveled it.. but it drives straight and no shaking at highway speeds. I'm getting it aligned this coming week either way.. but am I missing something?

Measure the distance from the front fender lip to hub center while the truck is parked. If the distance on either side is more that 23.6", you need to lower the front.

What you are describing is the same as all the people that over did it with the leveling and came on here to describe scary crazy front end shake, vibrations, lane wandering.... etc.

Good luck.
