problem with new truck?

I just got a 05 f350 drw. The day after I got it, I could feel a jerking or bucking type feeling at about 40-50 mph. It didn't feel like a tire out of balance, but I took it back to the dealership today to have them look at it. They balanced the tires and checked for flat spots on the tires. They found out that one of the wheels was bent slightly. They replaced the wheel. On my way home I didn't feel the jerking anymore until I got on the bumpy country roads. Now when I hit a bump, it jerks bad a couple times. Any ideas on what may be causing this? Thanks

I don't feel it in the steering wheel. I feel it in the seat. It feels like it is coming from the back of the truck, maybe the suspension. It's hard to describe the feeling. It's almost like the whole truck is shaking.
