    I have a bad shake only when breaking and don't know what it is. I've changed brakes, rotors, balance and alignment every 5,000 miles. Wheel bearings, new rack, tie rod ends, and swaybar links...

    I have maxtrack 4" spindles and 5100s at 1.75". Had those for 2 years before the shake started.

    Any help would be awesome

    Just a bunch of old crap
    Lower and upper ball joints? LCA/UCA bushings?

    I had a friend that owns a shop lift my truck up and look at all my bushing. He said everything was good... It happens sometimes and when it does I can keep tapping the brake and it will go away. Anyone think it could be my brake booster or the abs acting up?

    Being on a lift versus having a weight load on the suspension are two different animals. Usually a lift is great for checking for the more noticeable failing parts. Bushings can be tricky because they can look good from the outside and not give when tested on the lift, but when the weight of the truck is on them they squish. It's a tough one to troubleshoot. Based on age, if you're still riding on old bushings at least 5 years old, keep them as a suspect. Same goes for the ball joints. And even faster failure if you take it offroad for any significant amount of time.
