Thanks for all the input guys. It''s going on the rack this weekend. If I can''t determine from that it''s going to the suspension shop. At least I will have taken care of many of the common issues in getting this resolved

Why didnt yoiu just use the spare? Tire sealant will ruin your tire. Once it is in the tire it cannot come out, they cannot repair the flat and as you found out it can throw off your tire balance. So now you need new tires.

nighttrain, try rotating your front drive shaft 180 degrees, could be resonance, see if the speed it happens at changes... and yeah, i know we have two threads going on here

roverguy, I removed my front drive shaft to replace the U-joints and have left it out while I located a CDL lever.

Have them look at the Radius arm bushings and the Panhard rod bushings.
