If i get up to 55 MPH or faster my truck goes vibrating (not really bad). I have new tires and had it aligned, I've also checked the wheel and there's no play in it. The drivers side sits a little lower than the passenger side it's not bad, but I can tell it is lower.

Heres a few things to check:
Wheel not balanced super important will make it wobble at higher speeds
Also, a broken or worn out or loose shock
Since it seems to be drooping on that side and you've checked just about everything else. good luck hope this helps.

If I can add here I have seem the lower ball joints wear and cause the front end wobble. Also, check the upper ball joints as well.
