Violent shaking while braking- not death wobble

Have a 99 ram 2500 with stock suspension besides a leveling kit up front. I have a violent shaking/jerking while braking. Mainly feels like the right front but its felt all over the front end. Any speed, especially from 30-0. I cant drive it due to how sketchy it is. I have 37x12.50R16.5 military tires off of a humvee. I swapped the tires with my 35x12.50R16 dick cepek fun country tires that are brand new and it did not change the shake at all.
New track bar up front, rotors just turned to see if that would fix it and it didn't. The trucks alignment is off and the steering wheel is far from being center but the jerking feels rotational as if it was warped rotors but it wasn't. I'm thinking wheel bearings up front might be the problem. Anyone have any opinions?

My only thing is the shaking/jerking feels rotational as if it was warped rotors. I just had them turned and that did not fix it. I even took the wheels and tires off and swapped with other wheels and tires to see if that would fix it and it didn't.

Well, I answered in the other thread you opened for the same issue.

I know that the problem feels rotational, but if you don't invest the 10 minutes you may be on a wild goose chase.

I didn't realize I had two threads posted. I will look into that first though.
