I had this identical problem. The only thing that I could do to get the vibration out is true the tire on the rim. The rims are defective and no amount of balancing, or tire replacement is going to correct it.
Tire shops apparently assume that all rims have some amount of imperfections and depend on balancing to correct it. For some reason it could not be corrected on my Dodge Ram. The vibration nearly drove me crazy. Once I trued the tires on the rim, the vibration went away. If you replace tires you have to have them trued on the rim again.
This is not a fix for all vibration problems with the Dodge. My previous complaint will show that I had numerous problems with my Dodge Ram.
I hope this will help.
Before you've tried everything else, this $70 option might fix it.
