It sounds redneck but have you jumped onto the bumper to see if it happens with the vehicle in park? If its the shocks you should know. I would also check your power steering fluid for starters.

Balljoints. Open the door and use it for leverage to rock the truck back and forth. Have someone under the truck trying to pin point the issue.
