Front end violent shake when braking
When braking the truck almost feels like it’s jumping up and down in the front end.
i have a 2003 f150 2wd, I recently changed tie rods, upper control arms, lower ball joint, sway bar links, rotors, and pads, had the alignment done and wheels balanced. Also new shocks were installed, the issue continued after all the new parts and I cannot think of why.
any help is appreciated

Sticking calipers can sometimes cause this. You said you changed rotors and pads. Make sure the brakes aren't sticking. Check the temperatures after driving it. If they are getting really hot, change the calipers and flexible hoses. I've found that cheap rotors warp immediately if not sooner.
Oh, and check the idler arm and pitman arm for movement.
