F-350 Sway Problem

Have a 2005 F-350 4x4 SRW 4 door LWB, noticed a week ago the truck "swaying" while changing lanes (real bad at 60mph or higher). Have purchased new tires (stock GY 275-60-20), replaced shocks (MX6 - 4 wheel parts), and in Oct replaced the drag link and tie rod end (from the pitman bracket to the passenger side top) with FORD parts.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
While driving at 55 or 60 and change lanes the truck will sway back and forth two or three time before it stabilizes out?<o></o>
Things that I have checked:<o></o>
REAR<o></o>
leaf springs not cracked or loose<o></o>
lifting blocks tight no signs of movement (been on the truck since 2007)<o></o>
sway bar bushings look good <o></o>
new shocks<o></o>
FRONT<o></o>
2" lifting spacer not damaged<o></o>
all other tie rods look good <o></o>
sway bar bushings look good <o></o>
new shocks<o></o>
<o></o>
Any help would be great!<o></o>

How about air pressure in the tires. Are both fronts the same and both rears the same pressure? What are the pressures set at? It seems to me that tire stores never set pressures correctly.

Have you checked ball joints? Bad ball joints could be part of the problem.
