You should be able to check the track bar by having someone turn the wheel and watching it. If honestly everything has been replaced/checked on the front end it could very well be a tire/wheel issue,i've had that be the culprit before.

BTW,what do you mean it "almost" feels like DW?

yeah i did that but it still kept happening when i got up to 45-49 right at 50 it would start to calm down but i can still barley feel it. it has a 5'' lift with 32'' tires so i guess its starting to shimmy. i know its not the wheels/tires i just had the fornt end allighned the tires rebalanced and rotated the 2nd day i had it which was like a week ago so im sure its not that, maybe a new steering stablizer will do the trick what do you think?

Had the same exact problem with my new project. Tire balance fixed it.
