Shocks could cause that problem. How many miles on the truck?

I have about 80k on it. Would ball joints or anything else cause this problem?

80K should be too early for ball joints, but any front suspension problem will contribute to tire wear. Air pressures correct? Could be under inflated. Could be a front alignment issue.

Are you talking about the slapping noise that mudders make, or are you talking about tire wear? I assume it's tire wear but I just thought I would ask.

I'm talking about tire wear. I know mudders are going to make a lot of noise once they get worn.
