2wd Front End Wobble and Noise

I have a Dodge Ram 2500 2wd and I've had this front end problem for sometime now. On the highway going around 65 mph, sometimes faster or slower, the passenger side front end shakes kinda bad and when I turn the wheels driving slow sometimes, I hear a popping noise. I have replaced upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rods and shocks. I know my gear box is pretty worn out and I got another one I am gonna swap soon. I have also had this problem with 2 different sets of rims and tires. I haven't done much to it really so I have no idea whats causing it. I am thinking the control arm bushings, I havent had much time recently since I just started my new job at Toyota. Even thought I will be help building them and can pry get a discount, I still don't see myself getting rid of my truck for a Toyota. Any help would be great.
