Steering wheel shakes above 50ish and then on the hwy the whole vehicle tires seem balanced they have balancing beads and were balanced 2 years ago so I really don’t think it’s them. What else could be the problem. It’s not death wobble because I have no bump steer whatsoever.

Bump steer and death wobble are not really related. Tire balance is most likely the main cause of your issue, this combined with worn front suspension parts that are letting the poor tire balance get out of hand. You should look into doing a dry steer test to find what's loose and worn out. Checking your front hubs like @CharlesHS suggested is a great idea too.
 
Alright I check all the steering links for play and the hubs there probably 4 or 3 years old so makes sense with big tires crazy off-road abuse I know hubs hate mud
