weird vibration????

I have a vibration coming from the front of my truck. i cant figure out what it is. I balanced and rotated the tires, just had ball joints and wheel bearings done about a year ago, and i cant seem to find out what it is. i am not sure if it is steering or suspension or something in the drive train. it seems to do it at all speeds over 30mph and gets worse around 60mph. any ideas?

Does it feel like rumble strips? Try locking your hubs and go for a drive if it goes away i almoat guarntee its the needle bearings in the hub

I just finished chasing out a vibration I was having that sounds similar. It felt like it was right up in the front end, but was the rear u-joint. Pretty simple to check/fix.
