Shocks,
I think i need new shocks up front.
very squeeky sound when going over speed bumps and such. (when the front end is bouncing up and down.
also, front tires were worn in a wierd pattern. every other center lug on the tires was worn low then high then low etc....
Do the diesels require any special kind of shock due to the added weight?
What about gas charged shocks?

Dude...
You are really scaring me.... I can do my own ball joints.. but damn I dont want to. they are a pain in the ****....
I also have some steering issues... it feels like the front wheels just dart one way or the other sporadicaly with out me moving the steering wheel.
but.. sway bar bushings make sense for the squeeky sound.

Just so you guys know, according to one of our new sponsors, Trucksprings.com, Bilstien is coming out with a new shock just for our trucks with a leveling kit on the front end. Supposed to be out next month. Will get mine asap. Oh yeah, they will be silver and not yellow.
