The dead shock on the left front could DEFINITELY cause what you're experiencing. No sways on it, so when the left front dives (turning right), the right rear is gonna come off the ground. Get some good shocks on it, and I think you'll be much happier trying to roll your truck turning right or left at 50 mph. You have a 4x4, not a Ferrari.
