Default Death Wobble

Hi everyone I have a 2007 4x4 ram 1500 quad cab and I have searched the forums and could find a great answer. The truck has approx 27500 miles and when I hit about 65 mph the entire front end/steering wheel shake as if the wheels are about to fall off. I hit the brakes and I get that pulsating feeling in the pedal. The thing is,,, after it happens once it doesn't happen till the next day, or I try to make it happen again but I can't it just does itself when it wants to. Other then this issue the truck drives great/smooth, brakes are fine....I rotated the tire and balanced them and still get the same problem. The rotors were cut at 26000 miles. I also lifted the front end and wheel have no play in them. So I bought it to the dealer with an appointment on Wednesday just hoping they can find the problem without raping me. Any Ideas???
