They are Alturro 305/40/22 Just had it to the tire shop and looks like the front end is a little loose and they would want ball joints and a wheel bearing before starting the balance work. I'm going to put the stock 18's on this weekend and see how it rides with those. Thanks for the help!

depending on how wide the wheel is dynamic makes them ride worse. being 22's Im gonna assume they're 9-10" wide. Judging off of a quick google image Im gonna tell you static balance is gonna be the way to make em ride right.
Also take the balance beads out of there, those are assinine and are the same as if you have fix a flat in your tire.
My pewter '00 I struggled my *** off trying to balance them since they are lugcentric wheels instead of hubcentric. Also check that on your truck, they could also need hubrings.

I have never seen a wheel balance better on a static than a dynamic. . . I have been out of the game for a few years now though. Static is easier to balance. Hit/Tape on the weights and you are good. Basically.
You bring up a good point with lug-centric & hub-centric. The OP should check that out as well.
OP,
I have diagnosed many of problems involving rough riding wheel/tire set ups.
Brake clips (Remove these!), wrong lug nuts, out of round tire, bent wheel, hub rings, warped rotors, etc. etc. Also, a common practice is to turn the tire 180* on the wheel and see if that helps the balance of it.
Discount Tire is a great company. You can go there and buy their lifetime rotate and balance and let them do there work. Come back in 6k miles and do a R&R.

Alot of good info in this thread!
Removing the break clips are a must on certain wheels. I like to remove them even if the wheel is recessed just to eliminate all problems.
Also, check if they are hubcentric. If they are not, they make plastic hub rings that are very cheap $$ wise and will solve most bolt up issues.
Last, make sure they are the right lugs for the wheels.
IDK how many times i've seen people come in with the wrong ******* lugs on because they just bought some **** cheap somewhere and slapped them on.
Doesn't hurt to torque the lugs as well in a star pattern.
135-140ft lbs is what our GM trucks/suvs call for.
Hope that helps
