issues with the front end

I am having a few issues with the front end, maybe someone can help me out. First Off I have a 2002 F-250 w/ a 6in lift. The problems i am having are as follows. The 4 wheel drive wont work unless the hubs are locked in, and when it is locked in and in 4wd the truck has a hell of a time turning to either extreme side. If feels like something wants to bind up then releases causing almost a bit of a "buck". Lastly, i have a whole lot of racket coming form the front end over rough terain such as packed snow on the road. It sound like a hollow noise. A buddy said it sounded like the suspension was loose, would this make sence? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
