Owned 6 of them all 7.3s from 2000 to 2003s and never had that happen , also all were lifted 4" in front. Yes I have a redneck tendency to do silly things to trucks.
Not in a Ford, never known anyone who has either. My F250 has 250,000 fairly hard miles and front end is completely original. Never a hiccup. Now I'm jinxed!

had it happen once with my 97 dodge dually 4x4, hit a good size bump just right and it started the shaking.

...and sold off the corner high wheel / tire combos seem to be one of the PREVALENT features of bad roll-over accidents here.
They DO look really cool , down at Pizza Hut,...
tell ya' one thing,....the folks driving the more bizarre ones are dealing with some serious "Issues", and are almost pathologically aggressive, in their driving style.
WTF am I not surprised ?

I was hauling a load of Pepsi one time with a borrowed heavy haul tractor. It was over a hundred thousand gross so I was using the tractor drop axle down. Hit a bump and thought I was going to shake the whole rig apart. I hit the switch and raised the drop and it quit, lowered the drop and went on fine. Delivered the load and headed empty to the shop. New shocks and it was fine. Soda loads in the plastic two litre bottles will tip in a trailer and make a real mess. I didn't tip that load or any other I hauled. I was shocked when I opened the doors and found it still standing and no soda pouring out.

Talk to some of the boys that hauled "Swingin' Meat" through the Roger's Pass.
STUPID to have allowed them to drive that fast in the #1 place
#2,...alla' those hippies down in Vancouver B.C. hated us anyway, called us "blue eyed arabs", and as vegetarians seemed to take delivery of an inordinate amount of Alberta Beef.
everybody slow the F down !

I had it twice on a 250 I had, so I may be able to help, but I need to know more before trying to give you a solution. (Mine was so weird that it is hard to believe.)
First, a few questions to eliminate the obvious:
Is that your truck in the video ? Does this happen mostly on a straight road or coming out of a 90 degree turn ?
What year is your truck ?
What type of front axle does it have - Straight axle or independent (swing axle) ? If a straight axle - a Dana 60 maybe ?
Lockout hubs ?
Part time or full time transfer case ? And do you drive for extended periods with the hubs and transfer case both disengaged ? (Spring through summer, maybe ?)
Have all front end parts been checked ? Tie rods ? Drag link ? steering stabilizer ?, Ball joints ?
I won't be back on here tonight, but will check this thread tomorrow.

When I was a teenager (in the late '60s) I borrowed my uncle's '55 Dodge pickup. He warned me not to go over 50 miles an hour because it had bad ball joints. All went well until I let it creep up over 50 and all hell broke lose! I thought it was going to shake the body right off the truck. The first time I saw this commercial I thought of that truck.

There are no problems that cannot be resolved by the suitable application of high explosive.
Ive had that happen on a jeep and a chevy, both times it was tires,, they will do the death wobble when you have a tire separating, or already separated...
It's an issue on all F-250/350's from '06 to present due in part to their switch to coil springs up front. '05 and earlier had leaf springs up front and didn't have the issue. I had it a couple of times on my '06. Hasn't happened on my '11 yet, but it will. There's a particular bump within a construction zone I drive almost weekly and every time I get feedback through the steering wheel for ~35-50yds and then it settles down again. I've read a new steering stabilizer will fix the issue until the new one wears.
