It's a symptom of worn out shocks.

Mine was the same way when my factory shocks needed a rebuild. I had less miles on mine too. No bouncy behaviour, just odd feedback over small stuff.

Really? Then it has to be that they need a rebuild. Same exact characteristics. I'm having trouble finding a shop to rebuild them in Orange County, CA. I can't take them off and send them in to fox, I need a shop to help me out.

That explains mine too then. 52 thousand miles on stock shocks. I had gotten aftermarket tie rods and upper control arms a while back and I thought it was odd that it didn't seem to help that at all. I'm honestly not too disappointed though. Such a great excuse to get 3.0s

That's exactly what I thought.
But I soon found myself with a welder in hand attacking the truck. It's a slippery slope

I just hit up the dealer I bought it from last month to schedule a time for them to look at my shocks. I get that I bought a used truck but this shouldn't be my problem after dropping 45k on a vehicle.

I hit a bump on the road yesterday and it jolted my steering wheel 10-15 degrees in my hand.

The dealers won't do anything unless the shocks are visibly leaking. They have no tooling or knowledge to rebuild them, so they usually just replace them.
You're best off just sending them to fox.
