Ok here is my problem.At about 20 mph the steering shakes violently,so hard that it will pull the steering wheel out of your hands.The truck has a 5 inch lift with RTE radious arms with new bushings.New shocks with new bushing.New bushings in the pan hard bar.It also has a rovertracks hd tie rod.I just has an alignment done.The wheel bearings are good and tight.The steering staft is good and tight,same with the steering box.What am i missing?I'm at my wits ends,I'M STUMPED and woulds love to hear your ideas.

Since you have checked everything else, that is what I would lean toward. Do you have a spare you could rotate to each of the front tires (one at a time). If it happened all of a sudden -- given what you have replaced -- this would be my first guess.

You can check that the bolts holding the swivel pin bearings on are all tight and not broken too.
