I have been running copper coated bb's in mine. I might try the airsoft bb's, but they are more spendy.

One thing that can cause shake is a bad tie rod. The wheel needs to be held firmly in place to help it balance. If you have a bad tie rod, it will prevent the tire from balancing because the tire will move around rather than the beads.

A bump by itself should not cause a shake. The beads will immediately balance again if they are moved. I drive on some of the bumpiest roads around and have no problems with the beads. Suspension repairs are another story. My truck bed is falling apart and nothing can save it. I have rewelded it many times and have even added 2" angle iron to it, but to no avail. The roads destroy it in about 2 months. My tail lights keep falling out.
