First ford truck

I got my first ford truck 6 months ago. It is a 1985 SWB f150 4x4 5.0 EFI AOD trans. 35" tires suspension lift and 3" body lift. I don't know how much suspension lift it has. The truck had a blown motor when I got it. I just got it running a week ago. I have fixed several minor things but I still have a few issues I am not sure about. The truck drives pretty good pulls to the right a little it might be the brakes. When I back up the tires lean in at the top and they go back straight when I pull forward. I know the shocks are bad. Will bad shocks cause this? The only thing that I could see that has play in it is on the draglink at the pitman arm What else do I need to be looking for? How do I know what shocks to get for a lifted truck?

Things I have left to fix

Front End Problem
Shocks
New Exhaust
U Joints front and back
Fix A/C
New Brakes, Lines, Master Cyl.
Body Work and Paint

Thanks Jim
