the shocks are new all the way around, the shaking will start and stop so once i hit 60 it will shake and as i speed up it will stop but start to shake again, the tires are wearing good, they are weather cracked a little bit but i didnt think that would cause the problem, right now i do my best to just stick around 55 MPH until i can figure out the problem

Rotate the tires, see if the vibration changes, that will tell you if it is a tire problem or not.

So it ain't the tires.

Need to start looking at ALL of the front suspension parts.

If the steering linkage is sloppy, that could indeed be a contributor.

front suspension is good all parts are new and they were rechecked to see if faulty and they are fine, my front driveshaft has a lot of play could that be a possibility

Front driveshaft shouldn't be doing anything unless you are in 4 wheel drive. You could drop the shaft, do for a ride, and see if the problem goes away....

the rear driveshaft has a dent in it when my u joint blew off but it didnt shake when i replaced the u joint and used the same shaft and that was replaced about 4 months ago, i was told there is a box in the front drive shaft that can go bad and cause the front end to shake since my front axles are always spinning
