Hi guys, this is a question of what i need to do next to resolve this ongoing problem. my 2011 ram 1500 4.7l 4wd quad cab 6.5ft bed had some suspension work done around the middle of march and i have been fighting the problem since the suspension was redone. at around 65-75MPH the steering wheel shakes back and forth. it continues to drive straight while its shaking. i don't feel the truck shaking other than through the steering wheel. a water bottle does shake while its occurring, however i don't remember if that occurred before.
Mechanic suggested a steering stabilizer, however i have not found one that isn't lift kit specific.
Truck has been driven for roughly 5k miles since the suspension work, about 10k miles since the at3s were put on.
Wheels/Tires were just road force balanced today, but have been balanced and rotated multiple times throughout the months. the tires did not have this problem before all of the suspension work was done.(wheels/tires predated suspension work by about 8 months

Mevotech sway bar link kit (MK80894)
Mopar factory sway bar (new, broke the old one apparently) and new bushings
Mevotech Wheel bearings & Hub (H515126)
Mevotech Supreme Outer Tie Rod Ends (MES80574)
New Rack & Pinion + Inner tie rods. Aligned
Rear

Any Assistance is appreciated. I just do not know where to start to try and resolve this problem.
