That is why I suggested a front end shop, a place that deals with this stuff all day everyday and that's all they do.
If the guy is competent and knows what he is doing I would start to lean to a failing IWE. Get yourself a vacuum tester/pump and check them both out thoroughly.

Are they new tires ?

Got a 05 f150, been trying to nail down irritating vibration only at hwy speed. Had tires balanced twice, just had it in the shop they pulled driveshaft and u joints and checked the whole front end. Everything is tight. I pulled the rear wheels and rotors, ebrake is rusted, but seems to work. I'm going to pull it apart this weekend and clean it up just in case. If it is sticking, though would I get steering wheel shake from ebrake?
I have this same issue. I have put inner and outer tie rods, wheel bear, new IWE pump, and check ball joints. I cant figure it out. Please keep me posted on what you find out. I tried new tires and even brakes and rotors just to make sure it was not anything with them. I would really like to get my fixed before it tears anything else up. Like I said please let me know what you come up with. Good luck.

FWIW, my recommendation to the OP was failing IWE or both IWEs. I am referring to the IWEs themselves. Any system problems would not produce a shake although having a system failure could eventually result in a failing or failed IWE itself. This would then be a symptom of the problem and not the actual issue itself.
When one looks into the IWE system, all components should be checked.

Dirttracker, I'll test iwe system for sure. Going out of town for about week so won't get to parking brake and iwe for at least a week. If I had a issue with iwe wouldn't I hear a air leak or have a grinding issue though?

It does not necessarily grind either, that is just one possible symptom.
