front end vibrations...

hey all. 95 f150 4x4 351 5.8 with 270+km

recently took leo (my truck) on a road trip and became very annoyed and concerned with the front end vibration i get at around 110-120kmh... ive had it for a while and have been slowly changing parts trying to isolate the problem.

It feels as though it is coming from the front pass wheel. most comments i have entertained have been that the wheels are unbalanced, but i got them balanced the morning before i went on the road trip. another comment was the my axel U joint may be hooped...

curious to any and all comments or suggestions... as well as any info on how i tell if the u-joint is toast?

all help is appriciated

How good are the shocks?

Any knots on the tires? Uneven wear?

shocks appear midline... could be done but dont look like they need to be.. and the tires are wearing on the outer edge. i took it into the shop to get an alignment done and they couldnt do it for me because apperiently i need some special adjustment sleeve for the ifs int these trucks... so im trying ton locate some but not having much luck. but alignment should only affect steering and pulling..no?
