Go to Tri-Care or Simple Simon. They have the Hunter (which is by far the best). Firestone also has it, but don’t go there.
Tri-Care charged me $125 for 5 tires.

You can get reimbursed for the repairs already made. Just have to fill out the form and receipts

Had an 04 Grand Cherokee with the worst death wobble you've ever seen. Trying to find a video I uploaded back in the day.
It would start shaking so bad that the wheels would bounce.
Not sure how many straight axle vehicles are still being produced. I know some super duty Ford trucks, Wranglers, and maybe RAM

Tri Care said they dont have it (Airline)

I had a 2001 expedition that always had a vibration at highway speeds. Didn't matter if new bushings or tires. Always at a level of slightly annoying in the steering wheel. Didn't eat tires so I didn't worry too much about it.

I believe the warranty was limited to certain years. And it has afflicted TJs (97-2006) and JKs (2007-2018). I assume JLs and JTs as well.

I’ve spent nearly 300k miles in the same Toyota, it’s always pulled right and had some vibration. But I’ll take it over the alternatives.

just did a little preliminary googling and there was a class action suit settled that seems to have have extended the warranty to 80k miles for affected models/years, still looking for forms to submit

I have never done it in a truck but I've used "Dyna Beads/Balance Beads" in motorcycle tires for years and have no complaints.
Once I was riding near an 18 wheeler and a tire blew out and I was hit by hundreds of little beads so I know they're used commercially. Again, I can't vouch for truck tires but it might be worth gambling $50 before thousands.
Here's a link from a Tundra forum. https://tundraheadquarters.com/bead-balancing-tires/

It just pays for a steering damper, and that doesn’t fix death wobble it only masks some of it until the damper is shot. The Monroe damper cost all of $30. It was basically a BS settlement.

if that's the case it's not worth the hassle to me, I've got a really good mechanic that I've used for years if the vehicle is out of warranty, I feel confident the problem is resolved and if not he would make it right, thanks

Ive got a 2021 4Runner, that is shaking at 60 + MPH
Same thing happened to my 2019 4Runner so I had my mechanic do a total suspension delete and I haven't had the issue since.

I've never rode in a 4Runner that didn't ride like a go kart over railroad ties

Those rims are lug centric not hub centric. If they didn’t use a lug centric adapter on the balancer, they will never get it balanced correctly.

You said "K2" tires.
Are these BF Goodrich K02 tires? If so, this is a pretty common problem with those tires. They can be hard to balance right out of the factory or after some wear.

Have a 2018 4Runner and it doesn't shake.

Also have a 2005 Cherokee with no issues.
