Truck shaking

Directly to the topic n question. I did my research but I'm lost.
Kit: zone offroad 1.25 front leveling kit front.
Issue: my truck starts shaking at 75mph. Want to stop the shaking.
Research: bilstein b8 5100 are adjustable but will they work? I don't want to buy new wheels. I want to keep it oem. I want to stop the shaking.
What do you guys recommend? I like the lift of it. N the use in emergency situations I can go a little off road.
Hurt: what's the hurt? What do I need to look into? Will it jeopardize another part?
Future: maybe lifting rear 1 inch

it is not the shocks.
use your mirrors and see if either of your rear wheels are bouncing
use your phone video to see if front drivers tire is boncing and have a passenger do the same on the other side

Did it start bouncing right after the level?
Have you crawled under and make sure everything it tight, ball joints and other stuff?
Did you or some one else install it?

per responces on your post on the other thread, numerous people have installed a level with no shaking, like me
the Zone is identical to the RC and 589fab level

Yes after the kit it started shaking. I paid to have it installed. It's not the lift kit?

Where do you feel the shake? Steering wheel or seat( front or rear)?

I have the GM Level kit and my truck does not shake after I installed it. I also added the ZR2 1" rear blocks under the leaf springs to raise my rear up an inch. I have an econo 1" lift on my truck.

Front of the vehicle. Is getting worst trying to figure that out.

Definitely check for small bulges all around the tires, and rotate front to back to rule out the rims/tires.

If you had someone else do the installation, start with them and have them check their work. Make sure that everything is torqued to spec and installed correctly. There is no point getting internet help without a solid base to start with. IMHO

Check to make sure your lug nuts got tightened properly. My brother did that to me once. He was helping me finish the tire rotation and forgot to tighten the lug nuts.

Either check torque yourself or have the installer retorque.

They should include a 500mi retorque anyway...
