after watching your video, I am no longer sure. The only thing I can suggest is jack up one side at a time, under the lower a-arm and grab the top of the tire (when there is a little space between it and the ground) and try and jerk it back and forth, if there is a clunk or movement, you either need wheel bearing or ball joints. You will need someone looking at each to see where the movement is coming from.
Now do the same kind of motion but in the direction the tires move when turning. everything should move together.
Also if you have jack stands I would strongly suggest using those. and it doesn't take a lot of force to do either of those things.
Alright, I found this on youtube.com, it basically shows you what your ball joints should not do. also this is NOT me and I dont like that guy...

Went back underneath the truck today..... I checked the ball joints and they are fine. I did however notice a decent amount of movement in one of my new swaybar links. I am going to try and replace it tomorrow w/another link to see if that will fix my issue.

I believe so, The truck is much quieter now since I replaced the sway bar links. It still makes a little noise over large bumps but nothing like it was. I am wondering now if maybe some of the noise is coming from the calipers moving around when I hit a bump.
New song of mine. (Apologies to Stevie Ray).
