Make sure you check out the bushings on the LCA as well. Mine were in bad shape on the pass side when I did all the front stuff a bit back

 

Replacing the tie rods is definitely going to warrant another alignment, hopefully you bought one of the alignment plans that covers the whole truck. I've got a warranty on my alignment that gives me free alignments for the next 3 years, no matter what tires, parts, whatever I put on the truck, as long as I still have the truck. Given these big tires and how quickly they wear out the front suspension, it's a godsend.

 

Thanks again for all the info.
I got at it today and everything up front is still tight, tie-rod ends, ball joints,
bushings, rubber covers...everything seems ok.
I thought I'd find something loose, nope.

Air in tires was the same, maybe they need balancing.
The date code on them is 3903, kinda old.
They look good for 80 K miles on them, I bet I could go to 100K....

Do you remember the 80's Ford trucks that went through tires by 45K miles.

 

How long did it take you to replace the ball joints? Im about to dig into those myself.

 

I haven't done any front end work.
As I mentioned in my last post I didn't find anything loose.
I swapped the front tires side-to-side and that made the shimmy stop.
I can't say why, but it did.
