Man, sounds dangerous. You might want to take it into a shop and have it checked out because thats nothing to sneeze at, you could lose control easily and cause even more problems.
Are you the original owner or is the truck previously owned?

It sounds like you have done the most likely fixes. I believe something is loose or cracked in your suspension and possibly steering. Best I can rec for you to do is to either take it to a suspension specialist or get it up on a rack and check torque on every nut on the front end. Give the tie rods and coil springs a good look also. I think it's suspension because everything feels fine until the suspension is jolted. Let us know what you find out.

Try another shop, obviously there is a problem and someone should be able to find it. Did the shop actually drive it?
