i just got back from a 300 mile trip in my explorer, and i noticed that it starts viberating at 65mph and gets worse the faster i go, it only gets really bad while cruising a 85mph, it did this before when i had my 33's on, but i made this trip with my stock wheels and tires, soo i dont know what it could be

you guys have any idea?
 






Could be a few things but first thing I'd do is to get it in for a computer alignment. That'll dictate whether or not its a wheel/tire/axle problem. If the alignment says everything is within specification, then you can move on to looking at other things "upstream" of the drivetrain such as the driveshaft.
 






it only gets really bad while cruising a 85mph
Wow! You can cruise at 85? I'm lucky my X will do 75. If I try to push more then that it complains really bad. :)
Did it have the vibration before the 300 mile trip? Was it something that just started? You could have thrown a wheel weight. I'd get the balance checked first. It will be cheaper then the alignment.
