Weird vibration, I think front

At 65 mph+, it feels as though the steering wheel is going to come out of hands at times. The rougher the highway the worse it gets.

I've replaced the upper control arm bushings (NAPA), replace the center drag link (as it was worn out), lower ball joints are good and tight, just replaced the front tires (BF Goodrich on all six), and still there, better however, still present.

In doing a search on shocks, I found my truck has GAST front and rears and I'm concerned these shocks are too stiff and are causing the tires to "slap" the pavement.

Anybody have any input?
