1500? First check wheel balance, then start looking at suspension. This issue just recently showed up out of nowhere?

I’d strongly suggest checking everything, including the alignment yourself. I had my front end checked several times by the one local shop that I trusted, and every time they told me “it’s all good, nothing out of spec”.
I ended up replacing lower ball joints, upper control arms, CV shafts, and doing the alignment myself. All of the joints were just barely within spec, but the combined slop was enough to cause problems. And, the shop had my toe set to 1/2” out!!

Just to help avoid future confusion, there is no such thing as death wobble with vehicle that have independent front suspension. Death wobble only happens on solid front axles.
how old is the truck, how many miles are on it? Definitely sounds like something is warn causing excessive movement

It feels like a death wobble. It’s a 2013 with 117,000

Just throw a little grease on it. It'll be fine.
Once the boot integrity is gone it's lights out in short order.
