Been there ,done this. First check your track bar (takes 2 people) truck must be on the ground, move the steering side to side and look for play on either end of the bar. Also try bringing your tire pressures up to 70 psi. Of course check all front end components for tightness. If all else checks good I would try the Billsteins.
