What kind of noises Deven? Is it a thumping noise, is it only when turning? Etc.
The most common 2 things that I see are sway bar bushings and Ball joints.

You might have bad hub bearings. Jack the front end the of truck up and see how much up and down play the wheel has, it really shouldn't have any. This is how I found out I had a bad hub assembly.

Creaking sounds usually come from bad ball joints or tie-rod ends.
