For some background on the gear shake issue, have a look here:
http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=40349&highlight=gear+shake
After fighting gear shake for two years, I finally bit the bullet and added dampeners. Balancing, tire pressures as low as 18 psi, checking tire runout, barking at the moon, nothing worked permanently. Taxiing at 17 knots and things started to shake. Only way to stop it was to come to a complete stop. The dampeners stopped it. None, nada, zip. Same with Fred Bauer and his -3.

Bottom line- put the darn things on during the build.
