iv asked around to get my 37s road force balanced but the shops just laugh at me,

If everything else is ok You've found the problem right there, shouldn't be any movement at the pitman arm drag link, fit a new pitman arm ball joint, get rid of that movement & the shimmy will go away, a worn pitman arm ball joint starts off with a shimmy & ends up giving you death wobbles
If your running a 4" lift or more & haven't fitted a high steer kit the drag link pitman arm will be overextended at full articulation & cause the ball joint housing to deform, solved my wheel shimmy & another 3 others in the club
