Is your truck lifted all all? Leveling kits and lifts can definitely take things out of whack.
It might just need a good alignment, but it might also need some frontend work as well. Once the lower joints go, she just won't hold an alignment. I know from experience.

They aren't hard to put on if they aren't seized in there. You can get up to a 2.75 Degree cam . All of the 4wd shops and NAPA should have them. You remove the cotter pin from the upper joint, remove the nut, and with some convincing, the cam should come out.
I would still recommend a shop do it, just so you can get back into factory specs.
What type of 3" kit do you have?

No, if the tires clear, it's not too big for the stock suspension. A 33" is still pretty tame compared to what others bolt to these trucks.
Since it's a body lift, and you have stock suspension, I doubt you need alignment cams- alignment cams usually address suspension lift issues. Take it in for an alignment and you should be ok.
