Front end suspension question...

I've got an 06 F350 4x4 and the front end just doesn't feel right. It feels extremely loose and out of control over bumps. I have replaced the steering stabilizer and replaced upper and lower ball joints and still just doesn't feel like I think it should. Any ideas on what to try next. I am putting new Bilstein 5100's on all four corners in the next 2 weeks.The ball joints made a huge difference and am hoping that the new shocks will do the trick, just wondering if there is anything else that someone would recommend checking. It seems like I can feel it the most in the steering wheel. Thanks for the help.

Don't know how many miles you have on it but could easily be the steering box is worn out.

Sorry, just shy of 100k miles. That's a good point. I'll have it checked out. Thanks.
