have the aligment checked. Places that can balance tires usually can do aligments, but it will most likely cost you ~$50

If you bent a rim you will have vibration no matter what. Little more info, what'd you smack on the rock exactly?

I hate to even bring this up but a tree ran into me one time on the trails and i needed an entire new rack and pinion. something to the tune of 800 dollars. No body damage either, the jarring of the wheel against the tree did all the damage.

I did this same thing a while back when I hit a rock in the snow. Also my steering wheel was just slightly offcenter. I had it aligned at a good shop and the shimmy was gone and my truck drove much better than it had for quite a while. I had been driving and wheeling it for about 2 years before this and have had an annoying shimmy for a while. I passed it off as my tires till I put my snow tires on this winter and it was still there.
