Default Steering

I have 98 1500 with the 5.2 This only happenes when I cut the wheel all the way to either side but when I do it squeaks a little bit and almost feels like the tires jump for a second and the wheel wants to turn back around. The truck has a 3" lift on 35s any ideas ? I have all brand new tie rods and tie rod ends , upper and lower ball joints on both sides , brand new u joints and cv shafts along with a new axle shaft have no idea what it could be , only thing I have yet to replace is the steering stabilizer

I agree it sounds like the axle is still engaged, does it do it in loose gravel or sand?
