2008 f150 4 door 4x4 bad shimmy

This truck will rattle your teeth when towing even an empty trailer, Shop says they cannot find anything wrong with it, except for a barely worn ball joint.

It has new 17" tires, new shocks, no steering shock on truck.

The shake gets worse going downhill. The shake is most prevalent between 55-65 mph, I did not dare take it any faster!!

Honestly that sounds a lot like a wheel out of balance.

not sure about the driveshaft,

The truck is in the shop, I'll ask the tech about the driveshaft he did take it out and inspect it, I believe. the new tires were just put on, the balance will need to be re-checked. thanks for the tips
