stock shocks at 170k miles? Replacing those is probably a good place to start. If you stand on a bumper and get the truck moving up and down, jump off, does it quickly come to a stop or does it keep moving up and down?
Other components like torsion bars and springs can wear over time but I bet you had one or more shocks with leaks and they just finally let go.
On the bright side you can get a set of OEM shocks for cheap, like around $150 or so for all 4.

will new oem shocks help with body roll? driving a 98 with 80,xxx
Thanks

Sounds like you have a tire or more that could be out of round.
I'd try swapping tires around and see if it changes. Is it shaking the steering wheel? Very warped brake rotors can cause some shaking even when not braking.
Shocks are way overdue if original (and rear coils), may not help with body roll, but will improve ride. For body roll you could try a few turns on the torsion bars and new rear coils.

i went to jump on my bumper during lunch time it stop almost immediately. i checked for leaking shocks. and no dice. could wheel bearing cause this. i just had the rear bearings and seals done 3 months ago
yeah this could be the ticket. the tires are pretty worn. and it just started happening this past weekend that i notices. very good excuse for me to change tires BFG KO2 here i come. and a nice alignment.
Play in the front wheel bearings can cause shaking. The bearings are due to be repacked every 30k miles. Easiest way to check is to lift the tire off the ground and move the wheel back and forth with hands at 9 & 3 position.
Worn out suspension parts can also cause free play and shaking.

Like LEX said above, its prob your tires. Possibly a belt shifted.
The truck would still roll down the road smoothly even if your axle nut isn't tight and theres play in the wheel bearing...

Thanks guys after closer inspection of the left rear tire. The inner thread is wore down pretty good. Very uneven.
