Is there a steering damper on this truck? If so, is it working correctly? ---

Sounds like the dreaded “death wobble”. It’s a big problem with lifted Jeeps. In general it can be caused by a weak steering damper, unbalanced wheels, or if the steering geometry is less than perfect after a lift. Your best bet is to look on an off-road web-site or a Dodge Truck web-site for advice on this.
