Dually-Jiggle???

I've had a heck-of-a-time trying to get my truck vibration free at freeway speeds. I had my local tire shop spend some time fine-tuning the "balance" of all tires which helped a lot...but anything over 60 still get's my bed-rail-mounted rear-window shader moving side-2-side like an unbalanced washing-machine on "spin" cycle.

I'm running Fisk "Phantom A/P" tires w/ 85% tread remaining and factory steel wheels. I've driven next to the truck and the rims all look like they run true...just like they looked on the balancer. I'm thinkin' of going to aftermarket rims if I can't get these rims dialed-in... but I'd rather keep it factory if possible. Has anybody switched from factory wheels to aftermarket and find the vibration level diminished? AND... I've got 4.11's in the rear. Has anyone with a 1-ton/auto gone to 3.08's? 3.54's? (I need to drop the R's on the freeway.)
