Not your alignment. You prob need to have your tire balanced. The tire pressure should be the same in all 4 tires. That could be a problem

you say the discs are good? Have you had the rotors on a lathe to check that they are true?

Not your alignment or your tires being out of balance, your front disc are warped, you stated that when you brake, your steering wheels shakes. If your tires are of balance, your steering wheel shake whether you are braking or not after certain speed. Get your disks cut or better yet changed them out. While you are at it, have your steering components checked to make sure there is no damage to the tie rods, rack, sway bar, or sway bar end links since you stated that you hit a bump that shook the truck.
