Most likely the tires .

Just how where they balanced weights or those new pellets ?

Most tire balance machines depending on age the best balance speed is between 50 and 70 mph

If most of your driving is between 30 and 40 mph you might be able to find a shop to balance your tires for that speed

What tires are you running at 33x14.5? Boggers or swampers? If so it probably is in part due to the tires. But depending on how long you have been putting that extra strain, heavy tires, on the front end you could also have wear problems with some of your running gear. Probably wouldn't hurt to jack the front end up and pull the tires. Then crawl under it and start wiggling and seeing if any of the front end suspension or steering components have slop in them.

Also tell us what you have done to the suspension if anything, i.e. lift. And also how you drive it. Is it a daily driver/mall crawler. Or does it get wheeled?

In the old Days when getting an Alignment they would tell you of any front end problems

Seems now days they just say I can`t align your truck when you ask why??
