This lock-up scared the crap out of me

5.7 Hemi
Hi all. New here.
Conditions: 2017 5.7 Hemi Limited 4 x 4 short bed crew. 135K miles, 66 MPH on cruise, in 2WD, 62 degrees outside, 208 coolant, 175 trans temp, 215 oil temp.
Running on a 3 lane highway at 66 cruise. Came across a dip in the road that compressed, then lifted front end while in a very slight left bend. The front end (seemed like left front) tried to lock violently, as if brakes were stomped. Accompanied by 3 short bursts of a groan, like something that wanted to stop a spinning mass from spinning. Only lasted 1.5-2 seconds but thought I was heading for a crash. This happened under similar circumstances 10's of thousands of miles ago.
Ideas? Thanks
