Frame cracks can cause this . But if everything checks out you may want to look into caster . If caster on both sides are equal but too negative the steering will feel light, the truck will wander and be difficult to keep driving straight. If both sides are equal but too positive, the steering can be heavy . So you may be a little too neg . Have the alignment people add a little positive to both sides and see if that dont help . It should stiffen some and help with road conditions as well .
