    2016 platinum 4x4 with a 3/2 lift. I have a shimmy problem when braking.

    In normal traffic situations, it doesn't exist. It only happens when I have to get on the brakes pretty hard that makes it shake moderate/ severely.

    I am wanting to know if anyone has come across this problem, and if there is a fix.

    Thanks in advance.

    Pretty simple. You need new rotors.
